Beet Salad
Beet Salad
1 large can of sliced beets
1 large sweet onion sliced 1/8" thick
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
Salt (to taste)
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and toss. Serve.
*Johnna's tip: Beets are excellent! They cook just like potatoes, but taste delicious with a splash of vinegar and a little salt (*although we will note that heating them makes them lose some of their antioxidants...). Beets are good sources of folate and betaine (*they are a great power booster just like spinach...) They have been found to help in fighting against heart disease and cancer. Reason enough for us to eat them, in addition to their flavor that matches perfect with vinegar and of course, garlic...But, they are messy, wear black when cooking them, the bright red juice can stain you;-)
