I love a hearty salad that brightens up these colder months. A fresh chopped salad with a punchy apple cider vinaigrette is the perfect accompaniment to any dinner on your table. The beets can be steamed or eaten raw (we like them raw) which have a really nice texture paired with the apple.

This salad is rich in fiber and nutrients, and is a great option if you want a salad that lasts a few days. The apple and beets taste amazing the next day after sitting in the dressing, it’s just as good the next day.

The Perfect Make Ahead Beet Salad Recipe

This beet and apple salad is a fantastic and simple recipe to make ahead. Great for a busy weeknight, for entertaining, or just for those nights when you don’t feel like cooking.  I like to prep the salad of these ahead of time, and allow the vegetables to sit in the fridge to marinate in the dressing. 

This is one salad that really holds up in the fridge and won’t wilt like most salads.  Check out all my make ahead meals on The Herbeevore for some inspiration to help you prep, keep, store, and eat!

By building meals around gluten free pantry staples and swapping in a few wheat-less ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family.

    A question, not a comment: do the apples turn a slight brown, if you do not serve right away/same day? Planning to serve this type of salad to a good sized crowd, and I need it to look appetizing.
