Ingredients for Beet Salad Recipe
Beets: You can use red, golden, or even pink beets, which will work in this recipe. You can even try a mixture of various different kinds.
Apples: I like the delicious flavor of a Granny Smith apple in this recipe, because of it's crisp, tart, and sweetness it adds. If you don't have Granny Smith apples, you can swap it for whatever apple you have on hand.
Fresh Mixed Greens: Any mixture of fresh greens will work as the base of this simple beet salad. I like a mixture of arugula and spinach, but this is also perfect made with a heartier green like kale. Kale would be perfect if you want to meal prep this in advance, as the kale leaves are heartier and don't wilt during the week.
Cauliflower: Cauliflower is a delicious cruciferous vegetable full of antioxidants, which also help reduce inflammation in the body. If you don't have cauliflower on hand, you can swap with Brussels sprouts. Get creative and experiment with your recipes.
Chickpeas: Canned chickpeas not only add extra fiber, but another layer of texture to this salad recipe. Be sure to drain and rinse well to reduce the sodium content.
Pine Nuts: I highly recommend using pine nuts, however, walnuts or pecans will also work well too.
Almond Butter Vinaigrette Salad Dressing: This easy to make vinaigrette contains almond butter, olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar.
