Sweet Beet Golden Salad

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

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!
