Notes

For cutting the beets and apples, I used this mandoline to cut thin matchsticks. It works perfectly and makes the process easy. There is also a green one that costs a little less, it just doesn’t have the non-slip rubber or groove for placing over bowls.

If you prefer to limit sugar, feel free to replace the orange juice in the dressing with apple cider vinegar. Or use less orange juice with the rest ACV.
