Beet and Apple Salad

This salad has made it into my lunch rotation on repeat several times a week this year.  It has a little bit of everything going on and hits all of the flavor and texture must haves.  I like to serve this along side leftover grilled chicken.

If you don't have or want to take the time to roast your beets, canned (including pickled) will work great as well!
