Naturally sweet beets form a hearty base for flavorful salads that need only a few additional ingredients for big impact. Shredding beets and carrots brings out their sweetness, which we balance with lemon juice and pungent horseradish, plus dill for freshness. Honey and cider vinegar create a sweet-and-sour dressing for slices of cooked beets with arugula, while chopped pumpkin seeds lend texture.
