Beets and apples salad

Is your diet too low in fiber? Here is a little unusual combination for a salad to try along with your main dishes.  It delivers lots of fiber even during the winter, when fresh salads may not be easily available.  

Use your imagination and add as many other ingredients as you wish (and have at hand). For example, for more splash of color, vitamins and fiber, add a grated carrot and/or a few slices of a tangerine.

For us, today "the main dish" is composed of a can of salmon with tahini-lemon-onion seasoning and baked chickpea balls. For these recipes, I will post additionally.
