How to Make Beet And Apple Salad

1. **Make the dressing:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, until light and fluffy.
2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard until smooth.
3. In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar over medium heat.
4. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the hot vinegar mixture, stirring constantly.
5. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the dressing thickens to a creamy consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
6. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool completely.
7. **Prepare the salad:** While the dressing cools, combine 2 cups cooked beets (about 2 medium), diced, 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced – optional), 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley in a large bowl.
8. Pour the cooled dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
9. Garnish with additional parsley and chopped walnuts, if desired.
10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
