Ingredients

  • 1 Apple Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
  • 1 medium beet
  • 2 carrots
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped Note: You can also use fresh mint in this recipe.
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 lemon

Toppings (use one or all)

Instructions

  • Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot, place the beets on the trivet, and Pressure Cook on high for 16 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the beet and let it cool. Note: For a stovetop option, simply boil the beet in a pot of water for 30–40 minutes until fork-tender.
  • Peel the apple, steamed beet and carrots.
  • Julienne the apple, beet, and carrots for that beautiful, noodle-like texture and satisfying thickness. Note: If you don't have a julienne peeler or a julienne vegetable slicer, simply use the thick side of a box grater for a similarly wonderful texture that still holds a great crunch.
  • Toss in the chopped cilantro (and mint if using) and salt. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over everything.
  • Mix well. The steamed beets will release their beautiful pigment, coating the apple and carrots in a gorgeous, deep pink hue.
  • Just before you're ready to eat, sprinkle the almonds, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds on top.
