Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 medium fresh beets, washed and peeled
  • 2 medium crunchy carrots, washed and peeled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Dressing Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beets and Carrots: Wash and peel the fresh beets and carrots. Using a box grater or a food processor, grate the beets and carrots finely to create a uniform texture that is both visually appealing and easy to eat.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until fully combined. This dressing will brighten and enhance the natural flavors of the vegetables.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Place the grated beets and carrots in a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently but thoroughly to evenly coat all pieces. Add the chopped parsley and walnuts last, mixing lightly to incorporate without crushing the nuts.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Allowing it to rest helps the flavors meld and develop for a tastier dish when served.

Notes

  • Use the freshest beets available for optimal taste and texture.
  • Grate beets and carrots uniformly for a balanced bite.
  • Adjust seasoning by tasting and adding more lemon juice or vinegar if desired.
  • Employ a sharp grater to make grating easier and avoid mashing the vegetables.
  • Chilling the salad before serving enhances flavor fusion.
