Tips:

  • Use a mandoline: A mandoline is the best tool for getting thin, even slices of beets and carrots. If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife, but be careful to slice the vegetables as thinly as possible.
  • Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: Fresh, crisp vegetables will give you the best flavor and texture in your slaw.
  • Don't overdress the slaw: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the slaw and make it soggy.
  • Chill the slaw before serving: Chilling the slaw for at least 30 minutes before serving will help the flavors to meld and will make the slaw more refreshing.

Conclusion:

This candy stripe beet and carrot slaw is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a refreshing and flavorful slaw, give this recipe a try!
