RE: Arugula, Orange, and Red Beet Salad with Balsamic Orange Vinaigrette

in #food7 years ago

I think I will have to try this - I have a few beets I'm not sure what to do with and this looks sooooooooper scrummy! I used to think the same as you - that salads were pretty dull, but actually they're the most exciting meals I eat these days due to the wonderful variety of beautiful ingredients with all their flavours, textures, colours... plus the best thing is my body actually feels nourished afterwards! Thanks for continuing to give all us salad eaters plenty of inspiration and straightforward recipes so we actually try them out!!!

Thanks @woman-onthe-wing! Salads are so good for us. We often use raw beets in ours. Just love the earthy taste combined with the sweet fruits. They are great in smoothies too ;) Have a great weekend!

I think pickled beetroot put me off them for most of my life... until a couple years back when I discovered how lovely fresh beets are. I think smoothies are my favourite way to consume them... I love the bright colour and if mixed with banana or mango or something like that, it's like some kind of delicious summer berry drink! But I still need to do a lot more experimenting with them... which is why I always check out your recipes featuring beets!

Hehe! I love raw beets too. More recipes to come. Can't wait to travel to Belgium. My dad planted some in the garden. Yum Yum!
