Sometimes simple foods are the best. This beet salad is so easy to make and will take you no more than 15 minutes total.
“Beets are high in immune-boosting vitamin C, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium (essential for healthy nerve and muscle function and of course, healthy heart rhythm) and manganese (which is good for your bones, liver, kidneys, and pancreas).Beets also contain the B vitamin folate, which helps reduce the risk of birth defects”
Start with a bunch of beets, usually 3. These were on the large side. Then:
- Peel them and cut them into whatever size pieces you like. The smaller the pieces the faster they will cook.
- Boil for about 10 minutes.
- Then, drain and add…
- olive oil,
- pink Himalayan sea salt,
- garlic powder
- and fresh parsley
So simple and fast, just how I like to cook! Serve warm and then the leftovers can be eaten cold. Enjoy! xox
My Mom always made beet salad, but with canned beets. Can you use canned, or do you really need to go fresh with this?
fresh is best! I personally only use fresh and organic. Its not as daunting as you think. Its super easy to peel them, just like peeling a potatoe. Rinse them as you peel so you wont get red hands. You can use golden beets if you don’t want red hands. The benefits of beets are so great! I hope you try them! I also like to sometimes use a little fresh garlic with this recipe instead of garlic powder! If its canned beets or no beets, then start with canned and move on from there!!!! xox
