Carrot, Apple, Beet & Lemon Salad

​This has to be one of my most favorite salads of all time, plus it's super easy to make. It is incredibly refreshing and nutrient dense. It's filled with prebiotic fibers, folate, manganese, copper, potassium, vitamin C, iron, vitamin A, and has anti-inflammatory properties.

​This has the ability to lighten up any meal as a side.
