Grated raw beets are delicious. Sweet and crunchy, they're as good as cooked but quicker. Add grated carrots, red cabbage, salted sunflower seeds and crispy quinoa and you have a mostly raw salad that makes you feel so healthy and is complete with vegetables, fiber and protein. It holds well too so it's great to pack up for lunch the next day. I love that I can use my box grater for all of it — such a useful, uncomplicated piece of kitchen equipment. Take care to grate your beets on a non wooden surface because they will stain.
