    Golden Beet Zucchini Salad.  It is almost officially summer, and we are in prime salad season.   l like salads anytime of the year, but summer salads are the best when all of the produce is fresh and tasty.

    This beet zucchini salad is not your ordinary summer salad!  It has fresh zucchini and beets, but the key is the creamy coconut ginger yogurt salad dressing that gives it an off -the-chart tangy flavor.  Beets and zucchini never tasted so good.

    Ingredients For Golden Beet Zucchini Salad

    Take a quick look at the ingredient list to see if you have everything that you need to make this salad.  For the salad, it is so simple, only 3 ingredients:

    Golden Beets

    Red Beet

    Zucchini

    For the dressing you will need:

    Yogurt

    Cinnamon

    Ginger

    Salt

    Coconut Milk

    Orange Juice

    For garnish:

    Orange zest

    Mint

    Why Use Beets?

    I agree, beets aren't the tastiest vegetable available for your salad.  Golden beets have a milder flavor than red beets, but both have vitamins, minerals,  are low in fat and help with inflammation.  Additionally, beets are a great source of fiber, and that is essential to a healthy gut and digestive system.(source)

    Steps To Make Golden Beet Zucchini Salad

    I find it useful to make the dressing first, so that the flavors can mix together to create the tangy kick.  Simply add all of the dressing ingredients to a small blender and blend until smooth.  This dressing is very versatile, and can be used on any salad.

    Place the dressing in the refrigerator while you make the salad.  Shred the zucchini and golden, and red  beets (separately), in the food processor.  Cook the golden beets in the microwave for 2 minutes.  Let cool.  Place in a salad bowl with zucchini and mix well.  (Don't cook zucchini)

    Add shredded golden beets and zucchini to bowl and mix well

    Tips For Making Beet Zucchini Salad:

    • I like to cook the beets in the microwave for a few minutes to make them a little more tender.
    • I do not cook the zucchini, because it is better fresh and crispy and tends to get soggy when it is cooked in the microwave.
    • This bright and fresh salad will look beautiful on your table.
