After my last post, I thought I would balance it out with something healthy! Just one week left until Thanksgiving…do you have your menu planned out yet? This beet, orange and apple salad is a colorful and healthy addition to your spread. It is a recipe inspired by my husband’s mom, because she makes a similar salad for us and is one of my favorites! It is tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette and sprinkled with chopped walnuts. Beets are very healthy, and taste so good when cooked fresh (not from a can). I always turn my hands pink when cooking with them, but don’t worry, it goes away You can always wear gloves when handling the beets to avoid your hands turning pink.
