Ingredients:

• 1 medium beetroot, peeled and grated
• 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
• 1 apple (your preferred variety), cored and thinly sliced or grated

• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional for a touch of sweetness)
• A pinch of salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds (for crunch)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the vegetables and fruit: Grate the beetroot and carrot. Thinly slice or grate the apple. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
2. Mix the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey (if using), salt, and pepper.
3. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the grated beetroot, carrot, and apple. Drizzle with the dressing and toss until everything is well coated.
4. Garnish: Sprinkle with sunflower or pumpkin seeds and fresh herbs.
