Benefits of Beets (or Shredded Beet Salad)
- Beets are heart-healthy and incredible with blood pressure; they can help keep blood pressure in check.
- Inflammation Fighter: excellent inflammation fighter,
- Brain Health: beets can support brain health; how awesome is that?
- Digestive health; if you find it hard to go, make beetroot your new friend!
- Preventative: beets are linked with preventing specific cancer!
- Weight loss: beets can equally aid in weight loss.
The number of things this vegetable can do is simply endless, and I highly encourage you to get on the beet’s bandwagon. And if not exactly sure how to start, my shredded beets will show you how. This is the easiest way to eat beets, in my opinion.
Tips for making the Best Shredded Beet Salad
- Use only fresh vegetables. I rarely doubt if frozen vegetables would give the same result.
- Dress this salad with a light vinaigrette such as my citrus salad dressing. If you use a creamy salad dressing for this salad, it will overpower the salad.
- Use a box shredder to shred the vegetables instead of a food processor. Please refrain from shredding the beets, apples, and carrots in a food processor.
Easy Variations of Beet Salad
- Citrus beets salad: add orange, grapefruit, or mandolin slices.
- Add protein: Though this shredded beet salad is vegan, you can serve it with any choice of protein for a more wholesome and filling goodness. Chicken, salmon, tofu will instantly elevate this dish!
- Fill up with Grains or Legumes; this salad is so good with quinoa on the side! It makes it more filling too!
