Sweet Beet Golden Salad
Ingredients
- 2 golden beets
- 1/2 apple (Granny Smith or Royal Gala)
- 1/2 lime, juice only
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Handful of red grapes, cut in half
- Handful of almonds, crushed
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3-4 mint leaves, minced
Instructions
- Boil beets for about 45 min. When cooked, let them sit in ice water for a few minutes and peel.
- Cut beets in little pieces – I cut them in quarters, then in little triangle pieces. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, add the lime juice and apple cider vinegar.
- Take the apple, cut it in half and dip both halves (cut side down) in the lime-vinegar bowl so they don’t turn brow. Wrap and refrigerate the half you won’t be using. Slice the apple and put every slice in the lime-vinegar bowl as you cut. This will prevent them from browning when you serve.
- On a service dish, layer the beets and apple slices. Then add the grapes and sprinkle the almonds.
- Drizzle with olive oil and pour the lime-vinegar mix over the salad. Salt and pepper to taste and garnish with mint. Enjoy!
