Beet Salad

Once again I got beets in my box. Emboldened by last times success, I decided to try them raw. It was good! Beets are winning me over.

Beet and Carrot salad

Grate some beets
Wash and peel some carrots with the intention of grating them, but then decide you are sick of grating things and cut them into thick slices instead.
Make a vinnegrette of equal parts lemon juice and hazlenut oil. Whisk in salt, pepper and a bit of dijon. Marinate the beets and carrots in the dressing. Then mix in some toasted walnut pieces. Serve over arugula with feta cheese.

Sounds not only delicious but also breathtakingly beautiful.

And the striking, intense color of the dish made an encore appearance the next day when I peed!

Made this recipe again and love it!! I nixed the walnut pieces and added cilantro and orange pieces. Served it on a bed of romaine.

Am about to start on this for Suzanne and Michael, and indirectly Gabriel.
