Why You Should Eat Beets More Often
Beets are a nutritional powerhouse often overlooked in everyday meals. They’re rich in:
- Nitrates – naturally boost blood flow and lower blood pressure
- Betalains – powerful antioxidants that support liver detox
- Fiber – supports healthy digestion
- Folate & Iron – essential for energy, red blood cell production, and hormonal balance
This salad combines beets with apples, spinach, walnuts, and a lemon-olive oil dressing to deliver a well-balanced and delicious dish loaded with benefits.
Ingredients You’ll Need

- 2 medium beets, cooked and sliced

- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 2 cups fresh spinach or mixed greens
- ¼ cup toasted walnuts

How to Make the Perfect Beetroot Salad
1. Prepare the Beets
Boil or roast the beets until fork-tender (about 30–40 minutes). Let them cool, then peel and slice them thinly. Roasting enhances their natural sweetness.
