Beet Salad

 

     But really…this is gooddddd!!!  Good may be an understatement, it’s actually divine.  AND, … I have a fun tip you will not want to miss.  I microwaved my Beets, you read that right, …MICROWAVE!!!  Super simple, but yet oh so sweet, surprisingly so.  No one could have been more pleased than me.  So you can keep this as a light vegetarian dish, or add a protein like Grilled Chicken for a heartier meal.  Either way, you can not beat this fun new way on Beets!!!  #seewhatididthere 💁🏼‍♀️

Ingredients~

Raw Beets, trimmed, peeled and chopped into bite size pieces (instructions based on 3 Beets)

1/2 cup Water

Dash Salt

Plain Greek Yogurt (I use Fage)

Arugula Salad

Pistachio Nuts

Balsamic Vinegar

Optional Protein Source, I prefer a nice Grilled Chicken

     Trim, peel and chop 3 Beets, add to microwave safe bowl along with 1/2 cup water and dash of salt, microwave 8 minutes, test for tenderness, repeat for another 3 minutes, test for tenderness, repeat if necessary, but mine were done after 11 minutes, all the water should be evaporated by now.  Allow to cool.  Meanwhile, spread a thin layer of Yogurt on Salad Plate, top with Arugula, Beets, Chicken if using, Pistachios and finish with a drizzle of Balsamic.  Enjoy ☺️
