Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 2 medium fresh beets, peeled and grated
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Additions

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Beets and Vegetables: Peel the fresh beets and carrots, then grate them finely using a box grater or food processor. Finely chop the fresh parsley so it can distribute its flavor evenly throughout the salad.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, place the grated beets, grated carrots, and chopped parsley. Add the chopped walnuts if using to add texture and a nutty flavor.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar (natural), olive oil (natural), salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the dressing emulsifies and becomes glossy.
  4. Toss Everything Together: Pour the dressing over the grated vegetables and gently toss with a fork or salad servers until all ingredients are thoroughly coated. Let the salad rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, firm beets with smooth skins for the best sweetness and ease of grating.
  • Use a fine grater to achieve a delicate texture that blends well with other ingredients.
  • Let the salad rest for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance flavor combination.
  • Add dressing gradually to find your preferred balance of acidity and richness.
  • Add the fresh herbs last to avoid bruising and maintain their vibrant freshness.
