In The Vega Kitchen: Beet, Apple and Fennel Salad
Appy Friday here at the Sequel office has produced yet another delightful dish. This one was created by Derek, our Director of Finance. It was one of the best appies yet!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup maple pecans or walnuts
- 1 raw beet peeled and coarsely grated
- 1 Fuji apple peeled and, grated
- 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and grated
- 1/2 cup fresh mint, roughly chopped (or substitute with some basil)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup Vega EFA oil
|
Directions: Grate the beets, and fennel and apple keep in separate bowls. I found that using a mandolin was better for presentation and crunch, but if you find raw beets too crunchy than a grater is better. Roast the pecans in a pan with a sprinkle of brown sugar. Toss the beets with the mint, oil, and balsamic vinegar. Gently toss in the fennel and apple and top with pecans or other nuts.

I have to admit I was surprised at how much I liked this! I used golden beets because that was all they had in the organic section and it was still very good. I'm going to use the greens tomorrow!

Oh yummy. It doesn't even need the goat cheese. I have most of the ingredients in my kitchen right now. I just wish I had some fennel.

This picture is so great! Did you plan to wear your Vega shirt Derek? haha
I just got home from the grocery store with all the ingredients. I'm going to make this for a demo tomorrow using the Vega EFA Oil blend. But of course I'll test it out tonight for dinner and am sooo looking forward to it :-)
