Beet Salad

julienned

 
dressing added

added to mixed greens
I was watching a Jamie Oliver cooking show and saw him julienne some raw beets.  Then he added some balsamic vinegar to it.  That was it!  I was inspired to try my version.  Excuse my 'julienne' efforts.  I also added some onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, olive oil, tarragon as well as balsamic vinegar.  It is good.  The next day I added some of the beet salad to a mixed green salad I had already made.  It was good too!

I love it! Love me some beets. They are so good. I do very similar. Only apple cider vinegar and a little local maple syrup. I love your cuts. Yum.

For being a vegetarian, you would think I would love beets, since they are so heart healthy. However, I an NOT a fan of beets in any form!

I do love beets! Of course, pickled beets, but it's great to see what's in the salad when you make your own. My grandmother could raise them and she knew how to blanch or boil them..then skin them. She would either use the greens in salad or boil them. Occasionally, I get beet juice, but I'm not sure I know how to use it. Thanks for the recipe!

Love that you could do this much with the beets. Beets are hard to work with. Especially raw.

You can't get healthier that BEETS! We love them, and add them to salad and my dearest just loves pickled beets and pickled cabbage. Mrs. Nellies makes wonderful jars of both.

You salad looks yummy. I use to grate raw beets and add apple cider vinegar a little sugar, a little olive oil, and let them set over night. Then I would add to salads or just eat.
