Fascinated by the colors of the rainbow carrots & golden beets!?

The beautiful colors of autumn. With the cooler weather arriving, I am preparing nurturing and comforting earthy food.

I created this Beetroot Wakame salad some time ago and always love making it again. It has raisins, sunflower seeds and a dressing with tahina.

Let me give you the recipe here.

Ingredients:

Salad base

cups beetroots, grated

1 or 2 (green) apples, shredded

1/4 cup wakame, soaked

1/4 cup sunflower seeds (soaked, sprouted, and dehydrated)

1/4 cup raisins

1 TBS Gomasio (to put on top)

Citrus-Tahini Dressing (a variation of Caesar)

1/4 cup olive oil

2 TBS lemon juice or more (depends on how sour you like it)

1/2 TBS coconut sugar (or other sweetener)

1 tsp. garlic powder (optional)

1 1/2 tsp. mustard (blend 1/2 cup mustard seeds which has been soaked for 1-4 hours with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 TBS Himalayan or high mineral salt, 1 TBS turmeric powder, and 1/4 cup sweetener of choice)

1/2 tsp. Himalayan or high mineral salt

2 TBS tahini
