Nothing beets a good hearty salad…. (hehe) I was so excited to plant my own beets this season and to see that they actually grew! I knew I had to make something delicious with them and this recipe was perfect. Using both the beet and the beet green in this recipe gives it so much flavor. Don’t believe me? Give it a try!
