This Spiralized Carrot Beet & Apple Salad is a light refreshing salad that requires only a few ingredients. Great served alone or the perfect addition to any meal. Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Vegan option.
Hello and Happy First official Day of Spring! Hope everyone enjoyed their last weekend of Winter and are looking forward to some more Springy type recipes.
So if you are, today’s recipe for this Spiralized Carrot Beet & Apple Salad is one you may want to start with.
A great Spring salad that is super easy to make, pretty and lots of fun to eat! Because who doesn’t love spiralized veggies?
There is just something about the texture and little swirls that will intrigue even your pickiest eaters!
And not to mention how good you can feel about eating carrots and beets. They both provide a great source of Antioxidant benefits.
But if all that doesn’t get the little ones diving in, just make sure and let them know Carrots and Beets happen to be some of the bunnies favorite snacks..Haha!
Hence, making this salad a great addition to your upcoming Easter menu.
And this salad is also a great make ahead addition as well. Since it keeps well covered in the fridge for several days…Hence making this a great salad for any meal or gatherings.
While apples are something I eat pretty much everyday, I’ve always kind of struggled with new ideas for preparing carrots and beets.
But this my friends, I must say is a keeper and Winner in more ways than one. Cause I’m a big fan of easy, make ahead, healthy dishes or salads.
Plus the flavors are amazing with the light lemony vinaigrette and the addition of Mint & Cilantro.
Also if you’re a big fan of Cheese like me, this is great topped with a little feta right before serving.
Spiralized Carrot Beet & Apple Salad is great since:
- It only requires a couple ingredients and can be made ahead
- Fun to eat and pretty
- Great source of Antioxidants
- A great addition to any meal or gathering
- Tell the kiddos it’s Bunny approved
- Gluten Free, Vegetarian, & Vegan without feta
- 2 carrots spiralized
- 1 medium apple sliced(I used a pink lady)
- 2 beets spiralized
- ½ cup lemon juice(about 2 lemons)
- ½ cup olive oil
- couple dashes hot sauce
- generous handful of chopped cilantro and mint
- optional:
- feta cheese for topping
- Peel and spiralized your carrots and beets.
- Place in large salad bowl.
- Add apple slices.
- Then chopped cilantro and mint leaves.
- In separate small bowl whisk together lemon and olive oil with couple dashes of hot sauce.
- Pour dressing over veggies and mix well.
You could actually slice the veggies another way if you didn't have one but I highly recommend it for fun, texture and appeal 🙂
Staaaaap it, Stephanie! We are totally on the same spring wave-length, because I busted out my spiralizer last weekend and I have been spiralizing ALL the things. I’m so glad to know it’s not just me who feels like spring = let’s make veggie noodles out of EVERYTHING. 🙂 Obviously this beautiful salad has my name all over it!!! LOVE the carrot, beet and apple combo! I bet this tastes even better than it looks! SO YUM! Cheers, dear!
Spiralizing is just so Much fun Cheyanne and I guess great minds just think alike. Happy Week 🙂
I love beets! I feel like every time you post a recipe, you are in my brain, LOL! I’m such a fan. Love that the vegetables are spiralized with a sweet apple. What a great balance of flavor. Looking forward to making this!

Happy Bunny Salad! LOL I’ll bet a bunny would love this salad. It’s so full of colors, I’m tempted by the photos on my screen! Can’t wait for real spring days – we’re only at 44 degrees F here today and I’m longing for some 60s and sunshine!
Hope Spring gets to you soon Noel and you get a chance to try this Happy Bunny Salad 🙂
Looks like I need to bust out the spiralizer! I love this combination of flavors. And Pink Lady are my favorite apples.
Thanks Amy and Pink ladies are my favorite apple also 🙂
I have yet to jump onto the commonality of spiralized vegetables. But, you must might have convinced me with this recipe. Beets are by far my favourite vegetable to eat. I absolutely love the earthy, home-style flavour of beets. Can’t wait to try this one!
Spiralized veggies and foods make everything more fun to eat! This looks so fresh and healthy, can’t wait to try it.
What a pretty salad. I love the spiraled veggies and they look so much better tossed together. I really like your combination. Looking forward to trying it.
Thanks Marisa 🙂
This sounds perfect for spring. I am really tempted to buy a spiralizer after seeing this today. Yum!
Why, thank you! You have now single handedly convinced me that I need to go out and spend money on a spiralizer! I absolutely love the finished product. So fun!
You’re welcome Dene 🙂 And I think once you start spiralizing you’ll be hooked 🙂
I love beats but I have still not got into spiralizing… It’s the first day of spring here but still so cold. I love how colorful and refreshing this salad looks – makes me excited of coming spring.
Every time I see a recipe that uses spiralized vegetables I think I must buy one!!! I mean they don’t just have to be for making ‘pretend’ pasta right??? 😉
This salad sounds delish, I love anything beetroot related and having apple in there is just a bonus. Great comb 😀
Perfect salad, the combination of the beets with carrots is heavenly. I guess I will have to join the spiralizing bandwagon =)
Such a delicious and fresh looking salad! And I’m always looking for new ways to use my spiralizer! This is perfect for Spring!
so colorful!! We love beets, but never tried in salads, this is gorgeous!!
Your salad looks beautiful and healthy. I would love to try it and have pinned for later.
Thanks and it really was very tasty! Thanks for pinning 🙂
I am on such a beet kick right now. I seriously have been juicing them everyday, now I think it’s time I try this recipe.
Thanks Tanya and I think you’re going love it 🙂
I’m pretty much obsessed with anything spiralized, haha! Love this mix of carrots and beets together. Can’t wait to try this one out!
I love my spiralizer! Such a great way to get extra veggies in your diet. Looks like a wonderful salad!
Thanks Kathryn 🙂
Yummy. I need to get a spiralizer. The only way I have beets is when I make it into a drink. But looking at this salad I would have it spiralized. (I made that word up lol)
The salad looks so pretty !!! I’m a big fan of beets and carrots but have never added apples to it. Sounds really fun and perfect for Spring.
The colors on this healthy salad are just beautiful. Can’t wait to give it a try. I’ll be sharing a link to this recipe on my blog! Great job. Xo Jonet
