Glowing Skin Beetroot Crunch Salad
This Glowing Skin Beetroot crunch salad is sweet, fresh, crunchy and so good. It’s loaded with nutrients and skin boosting vitamins … plus beetroots are also known as a great detox effect. But even more impoetanantly than the health benefits of this salad is the amazing taste. It’s made with cooked beets, drizzled with a fresh vinaigrette dressing and topped with crunchy pumpkin seeds, spring onions and creamy fresh cheese (vegan cashew cheese or vegetarian feta cheese).
This salad is so simple to make and requires only a few ingredients. But it’s loaded with flavours and textures and I’m all here for it.
The amount of tastes and textures in this easy salad is mind-blowing. It may be made using only 3 main ingredients but that allows all the tastes and textures to stand out and shine.
It’s a healthy, but not too healthy salad. Colourful, vibrant and bold … and so so tasty.
And if you end up having any leftovers, try using them in a wrap, on toast with a spread of hummus underneath – it’s so tasty.
