This is the perfect fall salad. Apples are in season and so incredibly juicy.
I love mixing fruits and veggies in a salad; the sweet, earthy beets and the tart, crunchy apples go so well together.
This salad has everything, it’s filling, crunchy, fresh, juicy and it has the perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. It is also high in plant-based protein and packs so much flavor. A balsamic vinaigrette ties everything together beautifully. The end result is a celebration of fall flavors.
And before all the salad haters out there complain, don’t worry, this lentil, beet and apple combo will not leave you hungry. In fact, this salad is not your average salad. No boring lettuce (okay, okay, I actually love lettuce), no chewing your way through layers of undistinguished textures, no bland flavors. This is a hearty, vibrant, scrumptious salad and I’m in love with it (even though I used to hate beets. And lentils) and I think you will love it too.
Hate beets? This tasty combination might change your mind, just give it a try. My brother doesn’t like beets and he really enjoyed this salad. That’s because beets are roasted with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, coconut nectar/maple syrup and garlic powder until caramelized. And then tossed in an amazing balsamic dressing. It’s truly delicious.
This fall salad also travels well, unlike regular salad. I sometimes make it the night before and have it for lunch at work the next day. Just make sure you keep the pumpkin seeds in a separate container and add them right before you eat it, this way, they won’t get soggy.
