- Grate the beetroot and chop the habanero peppers. Add to bowl.
- In the same bowl, introduce the citrusy freshness of orange, grapefruit, and lemon zest. Squeeze the juice of a lemon and add it to the mixture to further enhance the flavors. The fusion of these ingredients will create a vibrant and balanced base for your salad.
