I love hosting friends and family for backyard gatherings but meal planning for the food is my least favorite part.  I always wonder what people will enjoy.  For this reason I use these gatherings as the perfect testing for new recipes.  A side slaw salad is a must on a hot summer day, especially when it is crisp, fresh and cold but some people do not like the traditional cabbage slaw so I decided to use the NEW Green Giant Beets Veggie Spirals as the base for our next slaw recipe.

Summer Beet Veggie Spirals, Apple & Carrot Slaw

Ingredients:

1 bag Green Giant Beets Veggie Spirals – prepared
1 cup shredded carrots
2 apples – sliced julienne
walnuts
feta cheese
1/4 cup Mayo
2 TBSP lemon juice
6 small mason jars – clean and dry

Directions:

1. Prepare Green Giant Beets Veggie Spirals as directed on package.  Once cooked, rinse the Green Giant Beets Veggie Spirals in cold water and place veggies spirals in a cheese cloth or towel to remove some moisture.  Set aside.

2. Prepare apples julienne style and set aside.

3.  In a small bowl combine lemon juice and mayo creating a nice dressing and set aside.

4.  Begin building your slaw by adding some Veggie Spirals to the jars and then begin layering with apples and carrots.  Depending on the amount of each ingredient added, start another layer of each ingredient.

5.  Sprinkle slaw with walnuts and feta cheese.

6.  Carefully drizzle slaw with the lemon and mayo dressing.

7.  Add lids to mason jars and keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.

Delicious side salad that is so colorful for summer too!  I love the addition of the mason jars too, just another way to bring the summer fun to your backyard gathering.  My guests really enjoyed this slaw recipe and so many people never thought of using beets which honestly I never did either.  Beets are great in pasta dishes but are also great chilled.  Green Giant makes it so easy to enjoy beets.  Yummy!!
