    Include your choice of golden beets, turnips, jicama, carrots, and daikon radishes in your salad. The rich, tangy tahini dressing adds a big yum factor! You'll definitely want to use a food processor to make it, though.

    2. Toss together grated vegetables and dressing.
    3. Season and toss again. Serve at once.

    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.
