Raw Balsamic Tahini Beet Noodles

When I saw this recipe on Strength and Sunshine, it was another chance to use my new spiralizer machine again!

I was told that yellow beets are sweeter then the red so that sold me to put those little beauties in the basket.

This is so good and easy. It's a make again and next time I'll try the red beets and see if it makes a difference.


Ingredients:

Balsamic Tahini  Sauce:

 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
1  tablespoon Tahini ( didn't have so used sesame oil)
1/2 teaspoon Chopped Garlic
 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder

 Salad:

  4 Cups Beets-  (peeled and spiralized, about 4 cups)
2 Celery Stalks (chopped) ( didn't add)
1 small red onion-sliced into thin strips ( my addition)
 1 Cup Arugula ( I didn't have arugula so I used romaine)
1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame seeds (topping)

Directions:

Wash and dry the beets. 

Peel off the skin on beets and place on spiralizer. You want about 4 cups of beet "noodles"

In a small bowl add the balsamic, Tahini*( I subbed sesame oil),garlic and the onion powder and whisk until well combined.

Place the beet "noodles" and the greens and celery  in a large bowl and add the dressing, mixing well.

Garnish with sesame seeds.

Serve or can be refrigerated for the next day.

Tahini is made from ground hulled sesame seeds so I thought the sesame would work- I liked it. The recipe calls for tahini so I'm sure it's wonderful with it in it.
