    Beet salad comes in many different variations. Today I’m going to show you a very fresh and summery way to make it. This balanced salad features beets, apples, and toasted cashew nuts with a light vinaigrette dressing.

    Beet Apple Salad tastes really fresh, is juicy, fruity, has a great bite, and a nutty flavor. This beet salad recipe with apple is prepared in no time, can be made in advance, and makes a healthy side dish to any summer meal, barbecues or as a starter at the family dinner table.

    Made up with only fruit and vegetables, it is very healthy and low in calories. In addition, it can really score points due to its intense color.

    Beet has an earthy taste and contains vitamin B, potassium, iron and folic acid. The apple provides vitamin C, and the cashews provide healthy fatty acids.

    Convinced? Then let me show you how to prepare this incredibly delicious and quick beet salad with apple.

    Ingredients

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Beet and Apple Salad Ingredients
    • Beetroot → The quickest way is to use already cooked tender beets. Alternatively, you can use leftover cooked beets from the day before or, of course, boil or roast it. This recipe doesn’t work with raw beets. 
    • Apple → The apple adds incredible freshness to the salad. You can choose almost any apples, from a slightly sour green apple to sweeter granny smith apples. Just pick your favorite!
    • Cashew→ Slightly roast them until golden brown. They provide a nice crunchy and nutty flavor.
    • Red Onion → A shallot works too. If you prefer, you can slice the onion into fine rings instead of chopping it finely. If you have digestive problems, sauté the red onion in some olive oil for a few minutes. This makes it easier to digest.
    • Olive Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar, Mustard (I love dijon mustard), Maple Syrup, Salt, Pepper → That’s all you need for the dressing. Apple cider vinegar can be replaced with white balsamic vinegar or lemon juice.

    Make-Ahead & Storage Instructions

    This salad recipe can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the fridge until needed. Doing this will set the flavors together a little longer but not cause the salad to wilt at all. Personally, I think this salad tastes even better when cold.😉

    Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 2 days.
