Grated Root Vegetable Salad with Tahini Dressing FAQs
What kind of vegetables should I use?
Use whatever vegetables you prefer for your salad. I love using non-traditional vegetables like jicama, daikon radishes, and golden beets. You could also use purple potatoes and colorful heirloom carrots. Just make sure your vegetables are stiff enough to grate!
Can I use a blender to make this salad?
No, you will need a food processor to make this grated vegetable salad. The food processor will help you to grate and slice your vegetables easily.
Alternatively, you could use a vegetable slicer or a cheese grater to slice your veggies. The process will be much slower, but it is possible.
