Beetroot Walnut Salad

Fresh beetroot is not something that many people eat too often. But they make a great addition to salads both slightly cooked, baked and grated raw. If you’ve never tried it, you really should because they add that slightly sweet beetroot flavor that is just so satisfying.

Beetroot contains loads of antioxidants and flavonoids and though it is slightly higher in carbs than other non-starchy vegetables, including it in moderation adds both color and a whole range of additional nutrients to your diet.

Walnuts are high in healthy omega 3 fats. Add some super healthy greens and a bit of cheese for protein (the nuts have protein too), and you have a nice balanced meal.

This salad works well on it’s own or you can also serve it with chicken or meat patties.
