This roasted beet and apple salad is the ultimate fall side dish – sweet beets, crisp apples, crunchy walnuts, and creamy feta tossed in a maple vinaigrette. It’s simple, elegant, and naturally vegetarian and gluten-free. Perfect for Thanksgiving, holiday dinners, or anytime you want a colorful, make-ahead salad that wows.
I know what you’re thinking – beets in a salad? Trust me on this one. When you roast beets until they’re tender and sweet, then toss them with crisp apples, creamy feta, and a drizzle of maple vinaigrette… it’s the kind of combo that makes you stop mid-bite and go wow.
This Roasted Beet and Apple Salad is one of those recipes that proves healthy food doesn’t have to be boring. It’s vibrant, earthy, sweet, and just a little tangy – basically, fall in a bowl. I first threw this together one chilly afternoon with some leftover roasted beets and a lonely apple from the fruit bowl, and now it’s a staple at my dinner table every autumn.
