How to Make Apple Beet And Walnut Salad
- Wash beets thoroughly but do not trim the roots or greens.
- Place beets in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Immediately transfer beets to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1cm cubes or small slices.
- In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together apple cider, walnut oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Shake well to emulsify.
- Core and chop the apple into bite-sized pieces. To prevent browning, toss with a small amount of lemon juice.
- Wash and dry the lettuce. Tear into bite-sized pieces.
- Arrange lettuce on serving plates. Top with the chopped apples, beets, and walnuts.
- Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and serve immediately or chill for later.
