A root vegetable salad that uses all the fresh spring vegetables!

One of the best parts of our weekly trips to the farmer’s markets is the ever changing variety of produce that we have a chance to explore.  This week we ran across a new kind of beet for us at one of the stands. It was a bright orange beet (aka a golden beet). Not wanting to pass up the chance to explore a new root vegetable, we grabbed a bunch and brought them home.

With a nice bunch of fresh radishes from another stand and some beautiful multi-colored carrots in the fridge at home, we had an idea. This fresh root vegetable salad that would showcase some of these beautiful spring root vegetables.

Typically people think of root vegetables like beets, potatoes, and carrots as fall or winter veggies, but late spring and early summer can bring some delicious root veggies that are tender and sweet. Warm days and cool nights keep the veggies from getting bitter or tough. Having the chance to get these fresh vegetables right off the farm helps keep them even more crisp and crunchy. Make sure to serve on white plates, it shows off the beautiful colors!

What Ingredients are Needed for the Spring Root Vegetable Salad?

• Cilantro Mustard Vinaigrette
  • Honey
  • Sea Salt
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Olive Oil
  • Pepper
  • Garlic
  • Cilantro
• Salad
  • Golden Beets
  • Carrots
  • Radishes
  • Cilantro

Dressed with a tangy apple cider mustard vinaigrette, the root veggies have a sweet cool crunch which holds up due to them being raw. Letting the veggies sit in contact with the vinaigrette for at least an hour helps to get the flavors to meld together.
