    This has quickly become my salad of the summer. There’s no cooking required, it satisfies our daily veggie requirements, it’s beautiful, and it makes a big batch. You’ll be enjoying leftovers for lunch for a couple of days. My only tip? Don’t add all of the dressing at once, so as not to turn the arugula soggy.

    Description

    This raw beet chickpea salad with apple cider vinaigrette is a simple, light side salad. Raw, shredded beets are combined with arugula, chickpeas, cucumber, parsley, pumpkin seeds, and raisins in this fresh and healthy salad. 


    Ingredients

    Scale

    Salad

    • 3 medium beets, peeled and shredded (I use the grater attachment on my food processor)
    • 4 oz baby arugula
    • 1 small cucumber, diced
    • 1 ½ cups chickpeas (1 14-oz can, drained and rinsed)
    • 1 cup parsley, finely chopped
    • ⅓ cup toasted pumpkin seeds
    • ⅓ cup raisins

    Lemon Apple Cider Vinaigrette

    • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil 
    • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    • ½ tablespoon dijon mustard
    • ½ tablespoon maple syrup

    Instructions

    1. In a large bowl, combine the salad ingredients. 
    2. In a jar, combine the vinaigrette ingredients. Pour about one-third of the dressing over the salad and reserve the remainder to drizzle over individual portions so as to prevent the salad from getting soggy.
