Beta-carotene is an antioxidant (great for psoriasis) found in many orange vegetables such as carrots. It is a fat-soIuble vitamin, so it has to be consumed together with a little bit of fat to be absorbed and utilized by the body. The essential fatty acids from the olive oil in this salad recipe are an ideal accompaniment for the carrots.

1/2 cup red beets, peeled and grated

1/2 cup organic carrots, grated

2 tbsp fresh apple juice

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated

1/8 tsp sea salt

1. In a bowl, mix the grated beets and carrots.

2. Combine fresh apple juice, olive oil, ginger, and salt in a small bowl. Pour this over the beets and carrots. Toss gently, and serve.
