The other night I went to make dinner and there wasn't a whole lot to work with....this is what I came up with. You'll need a food processor for this. Or you can use a grater but it will be more time consuming. It came out beautiful! Very colorful, beets are wonderful raw, grated in salads, crunchy, sweet and super healthy. It was light, refreshing, satisfying and very healthy. Let me know what you think. A Votre Sante!
Colorful Coleslaw
1 bag of coleslaw mix (no dressing)
2 raw beets
2 carrots (or several baby carrots)

1/2 c sliced almonds
Grate the beets, carrots and zucchini in the food processor, mix with the colesalw mix. Add the sliced almonds and toss well.
For the dressing:

Drizzle of agave nectar (probably about a tsp)
Drizzle toasted sesame oil
