Tip: Cut beets and apples into thin slices; stack the slices directly on top of one another and cut them into matchstick-size strips or grate them using a v-slicer, mixer attachment or food processor.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 pound beets, peeled
- 1 large Granny Smith apple, or similar flavored and textured apple
- 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse grain salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
In a medium sized salad bowl, using your microplane grater (or the smallest holes of a cheese grater) grate fresh ginger directly into bowl, about one teaspoon. Grate beets and apples, add them to the bowl with the ginger, and toss until ginger is evenly distributed. Add sherry vinegar, salt, and pepper to bowl and toss to coat evenly. Add olive oil, stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated.

I make this several times a month and is great for a picnic since there is no mayo in it. Very crunchy and refreshing on a hot day.

This salad is so good and so healthy. Even people who say they don't like beets just keep going back for more. It is one of my favorite things to take to a pot luck because nobody knows what it is and everyone who tries it loves it. Just don't get it on the tablecloth or your clothes. Beets stain!

We just discovered the flavor of beets and this is an awesome way to try them. While it is a very good recipe I would add less vinigar next time.
