Why Combine Beets and Apples?

Beets are earthy and slightly sweet, while apples add a refreshing crunch and tartness. Together, they create a perfectly balanced dish that is both nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium beets, boiled and peeled
• 1 medium apple (sweet or tart, depending on preference)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil or sour cream (for a creamier texture)
• 1/2tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp chopped walnuts or sunflower seeds (optional, for crunch)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

• Prepare the Beets: Boil the beets until tender, then let them cool and peel the skin.
• Grate the Ingredients: Using a coarse grater, grate both the beets and the apple into a mixing bowl.
• Season the Salad: Drizzle with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to enhance the flavours and prevent the apple from browning.
• Add Dressing: Stir in olive oil or sour cream and season with salt and black pepper.
• Final Touch: Sprinkle with chopped walnuts or sunflower seeds for a crunchy texture and garnish with fresh herbs.
