If you’d asked me to make a meal of beet salad 3 years ago, I would’ve told you to ….
you guessed it: “Beat it”.
Now knowing their health benefits (cellular repair, cancer prevention, nutrient packed) I’m trying to work them in my diet where I can. I’m still perfecting a beet smoothie recipe, so until I do, this is my go to beet recipe:
2 Tbsp Olive oil
3 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
3 large Beets from, can, jar or vacuum sealed bag, chopped with ~ 1/4 cup of their juice
1 Tbsp Sunflower seeds
2 celery sticks chopped
5 dashes of salt and pepper
I promise, this salad is way better looking and tasting than this photo!
Bon appe-BEET!
And beet-lovers stay tuned, I have another favorite beet salad recipe coming your way…

My family really eats beets well! I love beets and Balsamic. They just seem made for each other! I can’t wait for the perfected beet smoothie. I try beets in smoothies and juices, and I’m just not fond of them.
I love beets. 🙂
But – sesame seeds? Those look like sunflower seeds…
Hi Gina!
Yes! They are! Thank you! (my brain less crisp with jet lag when I wrote this!)
But I supposed you could use any of your favorite seeds, pumpkin, sunflower, flax….
thanks for paying attention!
