MYDISH

BY ERIN CAUDELL B e t e ! Can’t Be I’ll let you in on a little secret: I grew up hating beets. Re ecting back on it, I think I was only o ered canned or pickled beets. Fast-forward to adulthood and my experiences with farming. I quickly discovered that beets are easy to grow; their greens are sweet, crisp and delicious in salads. A revelation! Raw beets are amazing – sliced matchstick style for salads, marinated, I’ve even taken to roasting them.‚is recipe is easy to throw to gether with your food processor.‚e nutty pumpkin seeds add a little crunch (plus iron, po tassium calcium and protein), and a few microgreens add nice avor and texture.‚is colorful and healthy salad even gets better and more avorful over a couple of days in the fridge.
