For the Dressing
For the Sweet Spicy Cashew Nuts
Prepare dressing by mixing lemon juice, salt and the chopped mint. Add to the beetroot and transfer to a serving plate. Keep aside.
Grind or crush the whole black pepper and the cloves to a powder. Transfer to a bowl and add the date paste, salt and cashew nuts. Mix well. Heat a cast iron skillet and cook the coated cashew nuts on a very low flame until the cashews are lightly browned and crisp.
Sprinkle a few tablespoons of the cashew nuts over the salad and serve.
Serves 4-6
