Beet Apple Slaw

Fall is officially here!

Well. Maybe not officially, but “officially.”

Fall veggies are starting to creep their way into farmers markets and produce stands and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Winter squash, root vegetables, early apples, asian pears, they’re everywhere!

My fabulous friend and incredible Body Love coach, Anna Chapman, and I made the BEST fall inspired slaw the other night during our meeting of the minds.

Sidenote: Go check out Anna’s sweet sweet work. She’s an incredible human and she’ll help you see how incredible you are too! 

This beet-apple slaw is light and refreshing and pairs beautifully with a nice pork chop (or just a fork and your mouth). Save those beet greens and sautee them with a little diced bacon and you have yourself a tasty set of side dishes!

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Chiogga Beets medium in size
  • 2 Granny Smith Apples3 Carrots small
  • 3 Green Onions or Scallions diced

  • 1/2 tsp salt or more to taste

  • Directions
  • The slaw is most easily made with the help of a food processor though you could also just as easily use a box grater and some elbow grease. Up to you!
  • Using your food processor or box grater grate the beets, apples, carrots, and ginger. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper until combined. In a separate large bowl, combine the grated fruit and veggies, and add the green onions.

  • Allow to rest for approximately ten minutes to allow beets to break down and flavors to meld. Add additional salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!

This recipe is a variation on one found in Eat Well Magazine ( I wish I could claim all the genius for myself).
