Beets! They're not just for borscht anymore! We just pulled some beets up from our garden a few days ago, so I thought I would share this yummy recipe.
What you need:
* Beets (red or golden)- you will need about 1 beet for every 2 salads
* Soft, crumbly goat cheese
* Spinach (or any fresh green will work just fine)
* Balsamic Vinegar & Olive Oil (or a store bought balsamic dressing will work as well)
What you do:
* Trim the beet greens off the top of your beets and submerge the beets into a pot of boiling water (skins on and all)
* Keeping heat on medium-high, boil the beets until tender (45 minutes or so)
* Once the beets are cooked, the skins should just slip off. De-skin the beets and slice the beet into bite-sized pieces. Chill.
* Fill your salad bowls with spinach or greens, top with beets and goat cheese crumbles. Finish with balsamic vinegar and olive oil (or your store-bought dressing)
Quick and easy and super yummy. Even my 20 month old eats this and is especially fond of the beets! Be aware that red beets WILL STAIN, so if you will be sharing with your toddler it is best to either use golden beets, or get naked to eat this salad. Well, you don't have to get naked, but your toddler probably should!
