Shaved Beet & Apple Salad

Makes 4 servings

Fresh and crunchy with softness from the goat cheese, this classic-style salad feels comforting while also being light and nourishing. I love beets! Beets are a superpower for your body! It is super helpful to support your liver and gallbladder function! Beets are filled with antioxidants that reduce inflammation, which helps the enzymes in the liver to do their job! This is a great salad to have post-indulgences. It provides lots of natural water, protein, and the apples and beets help your liver to recover! So, since we’re now done with the Super Bowl, Valentine’s, and Mardi Gras; it’s time to focus on nourishing your body to enjoy the warmer weather coming up! Get ready for sunshine, long hikes, beach days, and water skiing!
