Description

Grated Beet Salad is a vibrant and refreshing side dish combining fresh beets, carrots, and cucumber with a zesty apple cider vinegar and olive oil dressing. This quick and easy salad bursts with natural sweetness, tang, and earthiness, making it a nutritious, visually stunning addition to any meal or a wholesome snack on its own.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium fresh beets, washed and peeled
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled or finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (natural)
  • Salt, to taste (natural)
  • Black pepper, to taste (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and peel the beets and carrots. Using a fine grater or food processor, grate the beets and carrots into thin, uniform strands. Peel and grate the cucumber similarly or chop it finely if preferred.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar (natural), olive oil, minced garlic (natural), salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly emulsified. This simple dressing will enhance every bite with bright, tangy notes.
  3. Combine Salad Ingredients: Place the grated vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the salad for a fragrant finish.
  4. Let it Rest: Allow the salad to rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld beautifully, resulting in a more harmonious taste experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables for best flavor and texture.
  • Grate vegetables evenly for consistent seasoning and mouthfeel.
  • Toss the salad with dressing just before serving to keep it fresh and crunchy.
  • Refrigerate the salad after mixing to enhance flavor melding.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste since beet sweetness may vary.
