1. Into a large bowl; peel and crush garlic, zest lemon, place picked and finely chopped parsley leaves and finely chop shallot with red wine vinegar, maple syrup, juice of half the lemon, olive oil and salt and pepper. Stir well
2. Peel beetroot. Grate beetroot, carrot and apple into same large bowl. Add drained and rinsed tinned lentil. Mix well. Finely chop chilli if desired ajd use to garnish.
