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

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.

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)
Kathryn @ FoodieGirlChicago
I love my spiralizer! Such a great way to get extra veggies in your diet. Looks like a wonderful salad!
Stephanie
Thanks Kathryn 🙂

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 😀

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.
Stephanie
You're welcome Dene 🙂 And I think once you start spiralizing you'll be hooked 🙂

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!
Amy Katz from Veggies Save The Day
Looks like I need to bust out the spiralizer! I love this combination of flavors. And Pink Lady are my favorite apples.
Stephanie
Thanks Amy and Pink ladies are my favorite apple also 🙂

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 🙂
