Meatless Monday: Spiralized Spring Beet and Carrot Salad with Honey Vinaigrette Recipe
As the weather gets warmer my cravings for cool, refreshing salads increase. I find that I enjoy salads more when they have less lettuce, so I usually create ones centered around a particular veggie—in this case, beets. I used my spiralizer to make thin spirals of beets and carrots, tossed it in a simple honey vinaigrette, and topped it with walnuts and feta cheese for a simple yet filling beet and carrot salad.
