Peel the beetroot, leaving the stems intact. Slice some in half and leave others whole, then place into a bowl. Add the baby carrots and dress with 2 T of the dressing. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Just before serving, transfer the beetroot and carrot to a platter, scatter with the feta, spring onions and coriander and drizzle with the ClemenGoldand- poppy seed dressing.
