Servings: 4

Brightly flavored orange zest and juice underscore the earthy nature of beets and parsnips. As you toss the slaw, the beets will “bleed,” coloring the parsnips and radishes.

Ingredients

1 small navel orange
1 medium lemon
2 Tbs. finely chopped shallot
1 tsp. honey; more to taste
Fine sea salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
3 medium beets, peeled, quartered, and cut into a julienne
1 medium parsnip, peeled and cut into a julienne
5 medium radishes, trimmed and cut into a julienne
1/4 cup 1/2-inch-long snipped chives

Preparation

Finely grate the zest from the orange and the lemon. Squeeze enough juice from the lemon to measure 2 Tbs.
In a large bowl, whisk the zests, lemon juice, shallot, honey, and 1 tsp. salt; let stand for about 10 minutes to mellow the shallots. Whisk in the oil in a slow stream and add a generous pinch of pepper. Add the beets, parsnip, radishes, and chives, and toss to combine. Season to taste with more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or honey. Serve right away for a refreshingly crunchy slaw or let sit for up to 2 hours for the beets to soften a bit.

Tip

If you would like to keep the contrast of the light parsnip and dark beet, toss in the beets just before serving.

we did not enjoy this slaw at all. My wife left out the parsnip. The taste was very bitter as stated in another review.

I love all these ingredients, but I did not enjoy the combined flavours of this slaw. The parsnip was quite bitter, this is my first time with raw parsnip.
