How to Make Apple Beet And Walnut Salad

  1. Wash beets thoroughly but do not trim the roots or greens.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Core and chop the apple into bite-sized pieces. To prevent browning, toss with a small amount of lemon juice.
  6. Wash and dry the lettuce. Tear into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Arrange lettuce on serving plates. Top with the chopped apples, beets, and walnuts.
  8. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and serve immediately or chill for later.
