To make the dressing, mix the egg yolk and salt in a bowl - whisk until fluffy. Add the cane sugar and whisk. Add the vinegar and tamari and whisk. Slowly drizzle in the oil until it's the consistency of thick, runny custard.

Place the beetroot and carrot on a plate. Slice the eggs in half and place there too. Drizzle some beetroot juice over the salad and pour the dressing over to finish.
