Rooted in color and crunch, this beet and carrot slaw delivers more than just a pretty presentation. Beets boost circulation, support the immune system and can decrease blood pressure, while carrots bring beta-carotene for eye and skin health. Lightly sweetened and rich in omega-3s from walnuts, it’s a refreshing, feel-good side dish.
