ZESTY BEET

The very word 'zest' is a tasty word;

It makes the taste-buds sing.

And the salad I'm now suggesting

Adds to zest some zing.

Take one small bunch of beetroot,

Wash it and then peel.

Do not think of cooking it

Or it will lose it's raw appeal.

Grate the beetroot very finely,

And put it on one side.

The finer you grate it the better;

That cannot be denied.

Now you need a peeler

To remove the orange zest;

There shouldn't be a trace of pith

So you must do your best.

Cut the zest into dainty strips,

It's not too hard to do.

Then mix Beetroot and Zest with the Parsley

And you are nearly through.

Finally mix a little salt

With lemon juice and oil

And pour it over the beetroot.

Now that's not much like toil!

People will say 'What a flavour!'

And you'll know you've passed the test.

And all because you were zealous

And cooked with a bit of ZEST!
