Beets are not just beautiful; they are a nutritional powerhouse packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Rich in dietary fiber, folate, and vitamin C, beets contribute to overall health while providing significant benefits for heart health and detoxification. Their vibrant hue comes from betalains, which are antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. Furthermore, beets support liver function, aiding in the detoxification process, making them an ideal ingredient for any detox salad.

Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized beets, roasted and peeled

1 large cucumber, thinly sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (omit for vegan)

Instructions
 

Prepare Beets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap beets in foil and roast for about 45-60 minutes or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Once cool, peel and chop them into bite-sized cubes.

    Slice Vegetables: While the beets are roasting, thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Dice the avocado and set aside.

      Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the roasted beets, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and fresh parsley together gently to avoid mashing the avocado.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. If using, sprinkle feta cheese on top for added flavor.

            Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl. Enjoy immediately, or chill in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
