Shredded Beet Salad With Citrus Vinegarette

It must be said – I love me some beets! I honestly do. This recipe is easiest if you use your food process to shred both the beets and apple. If you do not have a food processor you can still do this by hand. I did try this once, and have amazing biceps to prove it. Beet salad is something that pairs well with other foods and can easily be eaten all by itself … snack, lunch or dinner … beets are the way to go.

Directions

1. Shred the beets, apple and carrots. Note: beets stain (a lot) so either use gloves or be sure you are comfortable walking around with purple hands afterwards.
2. Thinly slice onion, and combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

Next, prepare your vinegarette, which is an amazing combination with the sweet beets.
