Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beetroot thoroughly and trim the ends. Wrap each beetroot in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
Roast the beetroots in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Allow them to cool.
While the beetroots are roasting, peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater. Transfer the grated carrots to a large salad bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the salad bowl with the grated carrots.
Once the beetroots are cool, peel off the skins using a paper towel or under running water to help slip off the skins. Cut the beetroots into thin slices or cubes and add them to the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, lemon juice, and black pepper.
Finely mince the garlic clove and add it to the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Chop the walnuts coarsely and sprinkle them over the salad.
Serve the salad cold or at room temperature. Enjoy your healthy and flavorful low sodium beetroot salad.
