    I recently had the most amazing salad with beets and apples and I’ve been thinking that it would be a delicious and unique addition to Thanksgiving dinner!

    Use ingredients that are from the garden and are true to our Canadian harvest- and get creative! Fresh, quality ingredients are what make this salad mouth-watering.


    Ingredients
    Salad
    1 Fuji apple (or anything that is local and crunchy!)
    6-8 large beets
    1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
    2-3 teaspoons chopped parsley (I like more... I would say 4 teaspoons!)

    Dressing
    2 tbsp olive oil
    2 tbsp cider vinegar
    1 tbsp honey
    Salt and pepper to taste


    Instructions
    1. Boil or steam beets for about 25-30 min
    2. Let beets cool for a few minutes
    3. Peel beets and cube into bite sized cubes
    4. Cut apple into slices
    5. Transfer beets and apples to a bowl
    6. Toss beets and apple slices with dressing, coat well.
    7. Top with cheese and parsley

    What’s your go-to Thanksgiving salad?
