Ingredients

  • 3 Granny Smith Apples
  • 4 small - medium Beets
  • washed Lettuce
  • washed Baby green Leaves
  • 3 - 4 Tablespoons Pomegranate seeds
  • 1 Purple Onion
  • Brown Sugar
  • 3 medium - large Carrots
  • For seasoning - recipe below vinaigrette

Instructions

  • Fill a pot with water and place inside the beets with the skin.
  • Bring the pot to a boil - then lower the fire to medium and cook for about 40 minutes, until you poke with a knife and it goes easily to the other side, at this point your beets are ready and you can turn off the flame.
  • Drain the beets from the water and wait for them to cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile - Cut the apples into half slices (without the seeds) - And arrange neatly on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  • Sprinkle, not too generously, brown sugar over the apples.
  • Place in a preheated oven of 350 Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until you see the sugar caramelize over the apples.
  • Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool.
  • Cut the carrots into thin strips (preferably not with a grater)
  • Cut the onion into quarter-circles.
  • Tear or cut the lettuce into small pieces - but not too much.
  • When the beets have cooled - Peel the shell (it will drop quite easily with your hands - if you do not use a peeler) and cut it to match the thickness of approx. half an inch.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette
  • Preparing the salad
