Vibrant Beetroot, Apple, and Carrot Salad: A Weekly Dose of Wellness

Serving: This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, fish, or as a vibrant side dish for a hearty soup.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The lemon juice helps keep the apple fresh, but for best texture, enjoy the salad on the same day.
Variations:

Add Protein: Include cooked chickpeas, crumbled feta, or grilled tofu for a more filling dish.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
Citrus Twist: Swap the lemon juice with orange juice for a sweeter, tangy flavor.
Herbaceous Addition: Try fresh dill or cilantro for a different flavor profile.
FAQ:

1. Can I use cooked beets instead of raw?
Yes! Cooked beets will give the salad a softer texture and slightly sweeter flavor. Just dice or shred them before mixing.

2. What apple varieties work best?
Crisp, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Pink Lady are ideal to balance the sweetness of the beets and carrots.

3. Can I make this salad vegan?
Absolutely! Use maple syrup or agave instead of honey in the dressing.
