Chop the beets into bite size cubes. Remove core from apple and chop into bite size cubes. Chop walnuts. Chop parsley
Combine chopped beets, apples, walnuts, and parsley in a serving bowl. Add vinegar and oil, along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine and serve.
Notes
Delicious Flavor Swaps:
Have fun trying different flavored vinegars (i.e. apples champagne, apple cider, raspberry, sherry, tarragon)
Swap the olive oil with walnut, macadamia, or almond oil.
Not a parsley fan? Try fresh chives, dill, basil, mint, or tarragon instead.
Get nutty with hazelnuts, pecans, pine nuts, or pistachios.
Add citrus zest!
Serving suggestions:
Enjoy as a yummy side dish with veggie or turkey burgers.
Serve on top of your favorite leafy greens and add lentils or garbanzo beans for plant based protein.
Make ahead:
This beet apple walnut salad is easy to make ahead of time and keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. I rarely can convince my hubby to eat leftovers, but he happily ate this for lunch the next day!
