If you don’t like sauerkraut but crave a refreshing bite to add to your summer hot dogs, this is the salad for you. It’s so easy and fast to make, and pairs well with just about anything. It’s perfectly sweet and refreshing thanks to the raw beets and carrots, but offers a lot of flavor with a super-simple dressing. Use it on top of sandwiches, in bowls, or just on its own! If you don’t like beets, you could easily make this with just carrots (or vice versa).
