Introduction:

Collagen is a vital protein that helps maintain skin elasticity, joint health, and overall youthful vitality. While collagen production naturally decreases with age, certain foods can help boost its levels, and beetroot is one such powerhouse. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, beetroot supports collagen synthesis and promotes healthy skin and joints. This article presents a series of amazing beetroot recipes that can be enjoyed every night, each designed to help you boost collagen naturally and improve your overall health.

Ingredients (for a Beetroot Collagen-Boosting Salad):

1 medium-sized beetroot (peeled and grated)
1/2 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
1/4 cup walnuts (chopped)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds (optional for crunch)
Instructions:

Start by peeling and grating the beetroot. Make sure it's finely grated to create a nice texture.
In a large bowl, combine the grated beetroot with the fresh baby spinach or mixed greens.
Add the walnuts, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds to the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a tangy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the beetroot mixture and toss gently until everything is well coated.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1-2 hours for the flavors to meld.
Tips for Serving and Storing:

Serve the beetroot salad as a light main course or as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu for a collagen-boosting meal.
To make it even more filling, consider adding avocado slices or feta cheese.
Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. However, it's best enjoyed fresh to preserve the crispness of the greens.
If preparing the salad in advance, keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to avoid wilting the greens.
