Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 6 small-medium beets, peeled and spiralized
- 2 carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 cup shelled edamame
- 1 avocado, sliced
Dressing
- Juice of 1 lime
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
Herbs and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint, plus extra for serving
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus extra for serving

Instructions
- Prepare the beets: Place the spiralized beets in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, working in batches if necessary. Transfer the finely chopped beets to a large mixing bowl.
- Process the carrots and combine: Add the peeled and coarsely chopped carrots to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the processed carrots to the bowl with the beets, then add the shelled edamame.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, honey, and freshly grated ginger until well combined. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss salad with dressing and herbs: Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables in the bowl. Toss thoroughly to combine. Add the chopped mint and cilantro, then toss again to evenly distribute the herbs. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: Plate the salad and garnish with sliced avocado and extra chopped mint and cilantro for a fresh finishing touch.
Notes
- This salad can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a day; the flavors intensify as it sits.
- For a vegan version, substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- The texture is best when served fresh; avoid over-processing the vegetables to maintain a pleasing crunch.
- Feel free to add toasted nuts or seeds for added crunch and protein.
