Ingredients
- 1 large apple (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji), grated
- 1 medium raw beet, peeled and grated
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (parsley or mint)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon crushed walnuts or sunflower seeds
Instructions
- Grate the apple, beet, and carrots using a box grater or food processor.
- Place each grated ingredient in a separate bowl to keep colors vibrant until mixing.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Combine all shredded ingredients in a large bowl and pour the dressing over the top.
- Toss gently to combine. Add herbs or nuts if desired.
- Serve immediately or chill for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
For meal prep, store the shredded ingredients separately and toss with dressing just before serving. Add lemon juice to grated apple immediately to prevent browning. Optional toppings like feta, chickpeas, or roasted tofu make this salad a full meal.
