Beetroot, courgette and miso spirals with a cheeky fried 🍳

On the rare occasions that I'm at home for lunch and not rushing from client to client I like to experiment with all the random things I find in my fridge (and pretend I'm on Ready Steady Cook).
This was me wanting a healthy salad that wasn't spinach yet again so I dusted off my spiraliser (I know, it's a bit 2016) and zoodle-ified some courgette and beetroot. Whipped up a quick miso dressing and none of my salads are complete without an egg on top - this one was fried in a bit of coconut oil. Sorted.

Ingredients:

1 medium raw beetroot, peeled with ends sliced off
1/2 large courgette
1 tsp miso paste
2 tbsp lime juice
pinch of fresh chilli (optional).
1/2 tsp honey or syrup
black pepper
One large egg
2 tsp coconut oil
Coriander, parsley or mint (big handful chopped)

Method:

Spiralize the beetroot and courgette. If you've not got a spiralizer you can use the mandolin slicer on a grater (watch your fingers) or just your grater.
To make the dressing, mix the miso with a little water, the lime juice, honey, 1 tsp melted coconut oil, chilli and pepper.
Fry the courgette in the remaining coconut oil. Assemble the veg with the herbs and dressing and top with your egg. Ta da!
