This raw beet salad with chopped apples and celery root is a fancy salad appetizer. Perfect serving with a lean protein for dinner.
The first time I had this Raw Beet Salad with Apples was part of a 4 course Valentine’s Day dinner that Brett made for me – this was the first course. He always goes above & beyond to cook for me on special occasions, and since then this salad has been something we love to make in the wintertime when root veggies are at their peak.
This Raw Beet Salad with Apples is:
- crunchy
- sweet
- tangy
- flavorful
- fiberous
- healthy
- raw vegan & gluten free!
I recently got both celery root and beets in my Veggie Box, so deciding what to make with them was a no brainer! The dressing is really vibrant with the fresh herbs and the apple gives the salad a lot of sweetness. Nothing in this recipe needs to be cooked, which is nice because it doesn’t take too long to prepare- just the dicing takes a while.
How to Make This Raw Beet and Apple Salad
- Finely dice apple, celery root, and beets. Combine into a large bowl.
- In a pint sized mason jar, combine all other ingredients to make the dressing: olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, parsley, and dill. Shake thoroughly to combine.
- Pour dressing over salad, and toss together until salad is coated.
- Serve with fresh black pepper
All the veggies in this are meant to be raw, so its a very hearty and fiberous salad. I try to dice the veggies as small as possible so its easy to eat. And the great thing about this salad is that its even better the next day if there are leftovers!
