Salad with Grated Golden Beets

Grated golden beets add a sweetness to any salad and are a great addition to this colorful, yummy combination of veggies in this glorious, nutrient-packed salad.

Golden beets are less sweet and a bit more mellow than the more commonly known purple beets. Plus, they won’t stain your clothes or skin the way the purple ones do!  Golden beets are packed with fiber and nutrients such as folate, beta-carotene, magnesium, and iron. Beets can be eaten raw or cooked, but I love their crunch when grated raw in this salad. Beets can be coarsely chopped, their sweetness really shines when they are grated. Any simple grater will do – just watch out that you don’t scrape your skin!

Note: to keep the salad crispy, it’s best to keep the vinaigrette refrigerated in a separate container and toss with the salad at serving time. You can heat the dressing in 5 second intervals in the microwave to re-liquify, or leave it at room temperature for 20 minutes before using.
