Ingredients
- 2 red beets peeled
- 2 yellow beets peeled
- 3 large carrots peeled
- 1 granny smith apple
- 10 oz baby spinach
- 3 oz crumbled feta
- 1/4 cup roasted salted pepitas
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 lemon + bowl of cold water
- Honey Lemon Vinaigrette link to recipe in post above ↑
Instructions
- Make vinaigrette, set aside.
- Portion spinach into bowls, or on platter. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Fill a small/medium, non-reactive bowl with cold water and squeeze half a lemon into the water. Drop the lemon half into the water and set aside.
- Using the fine shredding blade, make "noodles" with the apple. Immediately submerge apple rings into the lemon water. This will keep the apple from turning brown.
- Next, run the yellow beet through the spiralizer and set aside. Repeat with the carrots and finally the red beets.
- Layer all of the veggies on top of the spinach, sprinkle with pepitas and cheese (if using) and drizzle with vinaigrette. Dig in.
