Red Beet, Apple & Hazelnut Salad

Beetroot salad with apples and nuts is very delicious and healthy, with no added sauces, just healthy ingredients. What’s more, this salad is very easy to prepare, even if you have no experience in the kitchen. The salad is ideal for those who are on a diet or simply want to maintain a balanced diet with vitamins on their plate.

This salad is ideal both as a quick snack and as a side dish to a main course. It is perfect for the cold season, when beets are readily available, but it can be prepared anytime you crave something different, light, and nutritious. It may seem strange to combine beets with apples, but I assure you that it is a combination that works wonderfully. If you have not tried this combination before, let yourself be surprised by how well these ingredients go together.

Beets are an excellent source of fiber and antioxidants, while apples provide a good dose of vitamins. Carrots, in turn, are rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, which are essential for eye and skin health. Peanuts provide healthy fats and protein, and all these ingredients make the salad perfect for a balanced and nutrient-rich diet.

Recommendations:

• Choose fresh, high-quality beets – If you want your salad to be truly delicious, make sure the beets are fresh. They should not be too hard or too soft. High-quality beets will add a natural sweetness and vibrant color to your salad.
• Add Greek yogurt for a creamier dressing – If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a Greek yogurt-based sauce. This will add a refreshing note and make the salad more filling, but still within the limits of a diet recipe.
• Add a little red onion for a more intense flavor – If you like more intense flavors, you can add a few thin slices of red onion.

• 
  Boil the beets with their skins on, let them cool, then peel and cut them into cubes. Add the chopped beets to a deep salad bowl.
• 
  Add the raw carrots, grated on a coarse grater.
• 
  Add the peeled and diced apples.
• 
  Add the finely chopped nuts. I used hazelnuts, but you can use any nuts you like.
• 
  Mix all ingredients with a spoon.
• 
  The salad is ready to serve. Enjoy!
