Hormone Balancing Carrot and Beet Salad

You know those days when your energy dips, your mood swings like a vine in the wind, and your skin starts acting like it’s in its rebellious teen years again? Yeah, I’ve been there. That’s why I’m always on the lookout for fresh salads that not only look beautiful and taste amazing, but also work quietly behind the scenes to support hormone balance and gut health.

This Carrot and Beet Noodle Salad does just that. It’s a modern twist on the classic French carrot salad with a hormone-nourishing, liver-loving upgrade.

When I was growing up in Poland, carrots and beets were staples at every table, grated, pickled, cooked into soups. My babcia didn’t know the term “hormone balance,” but she did know that feeding us bright, earthy vegetables kept us well all year.

Fast forward to now—I’m living in Colorado, juggling a career as a personal chef and nutrition consultant, and doing my best to age gracefully (hello, perimenopause). These same humble roots are my daily go-tos for managing estrogen levels, supporting my liver, and keeping my digestion smooth.

As a nutrition consultant and chef I’ve worked with countless women who struggle with bloating, PMS symptoms, heavy periods, and brain fog—only to discover that balancing hormones starts in the kitchen.

What we eat can either feed the fire of hormonal chaos, or become our greatest ally. Foods rich in beta-carotene, soluble fiber, and vitamin C (hello, carrots, beets, and citrus!) help our bodies eliminate excess estrogen and support a healthy menstrual cycle.

This salad? It’s not just a delicious salad. It’s a gentle nudge toward hormone harmony, one crunchy, tangy, beautiful bite at a time. If you’re interested in more root veggie salad inspiration, try looking at this root vegetable salad with honey mustard dressing.

Health Benefits for Women’s Hormones

Let’s break this down:

🥕 Carrots: High in fiber and beta carotene—great for supporting the liver, which processes estrogen. Part of the #rawcarrotsalad trend for a reason!

🍋 Lemon juice and apple cider vinegar: Help stimulate digestive enzymes, boost bile flow, and support detox pathways

Chef Angie’s Tips

• Massage the veggies with a little olive oil and sea salt before adding the dressing—this softens the fibers and makes them easier to digest.
• Let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving for maximum flavor.
• Add a pinch of cayenne or black pepper for a tiny kick.

Ways to Serve

• Serve as a standalone salad for lunch
• With citrus vinaigrette. If you’re a dressing lover or want more ideas, browse these healthy salad dressing recipes for plenty of options, from fruity vinaigrettes to savory blends.

• Pair with a creamy soup for a cozy dinner
• Pack in an airtight container for on-the-go eating

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It tastes even better the next day! (Though the beets will stain the carrots a bit—that’s normal.)

Equipment You’ll Need

• Julienne peeler or spiralizer
• Medium bowl and large bowl
• Whisk or jar with a lid for dressing
