Why Shredded Beet and Apple Salad
On Rosh Hashanah there is a custom to eat symbolic foods and say “yehi ratzon” blessings on each one.For beets we say “Yehi Ratzon….sheyistalku sonenu” – All our enemies/people who dislike us will be removed in the New Year.I say… more beets!
For apples and honey we say “Yehi Ratzon…shetichadesh aleinu shanah tovah umetukah” – That we should be granted a good and sweet year.I say… more apples and honey!
So…when I saw the recipe for Shredded Beet and Apple Salad on the Food Network website I was super excited. It’s packed with fresh ingredients that are perfect for Rosh Hashanah or any fall meal.

Tools I used to make Shredded Beet and Apple Salad
Shredded Beet and Apple Salad – check out all the goodness!
Here are some of the super useful tools I used to make the Shredded Beet and Apple Salad.
A Mandoline
It helps if you have a mandoline to julienne the beets and apples. I have a simple mandoline from OXO that I really like. It’s easy to clean and store and works very well.
The OXO Good Grips Simple Mandoline Slicer is easy to store and use.
I used it to julienne all the beets and apples in the recipe. The task was incredibly fast using the mandoline.
Cut Resistant Gloves
If you’re nervous about cutting your hands while using the mandoline, I recommend the Microplane Cut Resistant gloves. They take the totally justified fear out of using a mandoline.

A good Apple Corer
I have an apple corer that has a peeler and a core ejector attached to it. I dont’ remember where I got it but did a search to find good quality apple corers. Here is what I found. All these make coring and ejecting the core easy.
SCHVUBENR Premium Apple Corer Tool has a great gripper and a lever that helps to eject the core once you’re done coring the apple.
ZYLISS Easy Twist Apple Corer is stainless steel and lets you eject the core easily.
OXO Good Grips Apple Corer makes it easy to remove the core from the head.
Ingredients in Shredded Beet and Apple Salad
I followed the Food Network recipe pretty closely with a few clarifications and exceptions.
I coated the apples with a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to keep the apples from browning. It was a simple addition and I was surprised that the original recipe didn’t have it included.
Shredded Apples & Lemon Juice
There is no weight listed for the apples and beets so I kind of winged it – which I think is a good thing to do here. I used average-ish sized Granny Smith apples with the peels on but cored. For the beets, I used two smaller beets instead of one large, and did peel them but left them raw.
Shredded Beets
I also ended up making my own candied walnuts. It’s pretty simple to do. I found using my HexClad skillets made the task incredibly easy. Nothing sticks to those babies. I’ll included the recipe for the walnuts below.

Here’s the recipe for Shredded Beet and Apple Salad

I’m making this for shabbat and I know that apples will turn brown if I prepare it on Friday. What can I substitute the apples with?
Thanks for your question Penina. If you liberally coat the apples in lemon juice they won’t turn brown. I prepare everything separately in advance then combine it just before serving. All the best,
Sharon
