Beetroots are a great source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. With healthy fats and protein from the walnuts, and additional fiber from the sweet, crunchy apples, it’s no wonder this salad is a powerhouse of nutrients and flavor!
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized beetroots, cooked and peeled
- 1 apple, cored and sliced
- 1/2 cup walnuts, lightly toasted
