42. Elegant Beetroot-Carrot Salad

This is a salad that is as beautiful to look at as it is to eat. Beetroot is typically a winter vegetable, but in this day and age is not uncommonly found all year around. According to Wikipedia, "beetroot is a rich source of potent antioxidants and nutrients, including magnesium, sodium, potassium and vitamin C" among many other health benefits.
The boiled beetroots are topped with grated carrots, a perfect source of vitamin A.
The dressing incorporated yogurt and tahini. Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds, a fantastic source of calcium, iron, and many other minerals.
For aesthetic and nutritional value, you may optionally sprinkle the salad with fresh pomegranate seeds.
