Ingredients

New Year Detox Salad

Roasted Vegetables

  • 3 beets
  • 4 carrots
  • 1/2 a red onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Himalayan pink salt freshly cracked pepper to taste

Salad

  • 4 cups of spinach / arugula mixture
  • 1 pomegranate
  • 4 sprigs green onion
  • 2 apples
  • 4 celery stalks
  • 1/8 cup pepitas

Pink Tahini Dressing

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp 100% pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 6 pieces of cooked beet

Instructions

  1. Start by chopping the beets and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Slice the red onion into rings. Add these ingredients to a 9 x 12" Pyrex dish. Season liberally with olive oil, salt and pepper, maple syrup and a splash of apple cider vinegar.
  2. Roast the veggie mixture at 325 °F for 45 minutes, or until veggies are tender. Around the 20 minute mark, stir veggies and rotate the dish.
  3. While the veggies are roasting, prepare the salad platter. Start by laying down a bed of spinach and arugula. Then, chop and arrange the rest of the salad vegetables, saving a place for the roasted veggie mixture.
  4. Once the roasted veggies have cooled slightly, top the salad platter with them. I like to do this while the veggies are still slightly warm. Then, sprinkle the salad with a garnish of pomegranate arils, green onions and pepitas.
  5. Prepare your Pink Tahini Dressing by adding all ingredients to your Vitamix (or similar) and blending until smooth.
  6. Pour the dressing over your salad or serve it separately, so guests can dress their own salads. Serve immediately.
