Ingredients
4 cups cooked beets (you can roast your own or buy precooked)
2 cups pre-shredded carrots
handful of cilantro (chopped)
1 cup roasted sunflower seeds
Citrus Vinaigrette
1 shallot (finely minced)
1 lemon juiced
1 orange juiced
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the shallot, lemon juice, orange juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Let the mixture sit, allowing the flavors to develop as you make the salad.
Meanwhile, using a box grater, grate the beets into a large bowl and add in the shredded carrots, cilantro, and sunflower seeds.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently until evenly coated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
Protein Maple Cinnamon Granola
A crunchy, easy-to-make granola recipe that has double the protein of store-bought options! Love to add some on top of yogurt bowls throughout the week!
