In a large mixing bowl, combine the julienned beets, carrots, and chopped parsley.
Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the beet and carrot mixture, tossing well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the slivered almonds over the salad, gently mixing them in for a bit of crunch.
Transfer the salad to a serving plate or bowl, garnish with a bit more parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy this wholesome, crunchy salad as a light side dish or a refreshing starter.
