We received our first box of produce through our CSA and one item in the contents of the box really challenged my kitchen skills.
After receiving it, I emptied everything out onto the table and was satisfied by the variety of vegetables.
The green were questionable since I didn’t know which green they were I asked you all on Facebook and everyone agreed they were kale.
I also had to ask you all on Facebook and Instagram what these were.
I was thinking…
a) Turnips
b) Radishes
c) Beets
d) Rutabaga
You all supplied a variety of responses but the consensus was c) beets.
Many of you provided me with some delicious recipe ideas and I decided to use them in a salad.
Yes…they were just as messy to prepare as you all said.
Beet Salad
6 small beets
salad greens
raw sunflower seeds
dressing
Blue Agave nectar or honey
Instructions:
1. Remove the beet stems. Peel. Dice in a food processor.
2. Add them to salad greens and garnish with sunflower seeds, a drizzle of nectar and dressing.
3. Toss and enjoy!!
This salad was really good. Beets don’t have much if a distinct flavor so they make a great way to get more vitamins in if you are not a fan of raw vegetables.
