Turn an ordinary mixed greens salad into a small work of art when you whip up this Spiralized Citrus Beet Salad recipe. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or feeding a crowd, this simple salad is topped with a homemade citrus vinaigrette you’ll love!
As the summer days come to a close and everyone heads back to school, it seems like the sun didn’t quite catch that memo! Hot evenings mean I’m still not inclined to turn on my oven and heat up the house to prepare dinner. I need something that is going to be filling, but doesn’t require a ton of work. In order to make meal times quicker during the week, I spiralize and prep my vegetables on Sundays, so I can literally grab-and-go when it’s time to cook after a hectic work day. It saves me time and sanity.
Spiralized Citrus Beet Salad Recipe
We are huge fans of the spiralizer at our house, which takes eating vegetables to a whole new level of fun! If you’ve never heard of spiralized vegetables before, it’s a machine that takes your veggies and turns them into “noodles”, or spirals. Trust me when I tell you – you need one! It takes an average meal and turns it into a work of art. They have all sorts of blades for thick, thin, ribbon-style, and more!
This Spiralized Citrus Beet Salad is a perfect example. An ordinary mixed greens salad with chopped beets and feta turns into a small work of art…complete with homemade citrus vinaigrette!

To recreate this salad, head to your local supermarket, hit up the produce section, and let’s get to work. If you can’t find feta to top your salad, I recommend goat cheese instead. You can’t go wrong with either one, but I don’t recommend omitting it entirely. The sharp cheese provides the contrast your palate needs against the greens, onions, and beets. I like to top this salad with a simple citrus vinaigrette that pulls the flavors together and creates a tangy twist to the beets. Serve it on the side for guests to enjoy at their leisure.
