Beet Orange Apple Salad

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Beet Orange Apple Salad.

1. Step 1

   Start by giving your beets and beet greens a good wash and drying them off.

2. Step 2

   For the beet greens, shred them until you have about two cups, then set them aside for later.

3. Step 3

   Next, take your beets and place them in a saucepan, covering them with water.

4. Step 4

   Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to let them simmer for around 20 minutes, or until they’re tender enough to pierce with a fork.

5. Step 5

   Once they’re cooked, drain the beets and let them cool down.

6. Step 6

   When they’re cool enough to handle, trim off the ends, peel away the skins, and cut the beets into eight wedges.

7. Step 7

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the juicy orange sections, the vibrant beet wedges, and some sliced apples for a delightful crunch.

8. Step 8

   In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, raspberry vinegar, a touch of sugar, salt, and minced garlic to create a zesty dressing.

9. Step 9

   Drizzle this dressing over your beet mixture and toss everything gently to ensure it’s well coated.
