Such pretty golden beets! I thought they were sauteed squash at first.
ReplyDeleteThese beets were so tender and good, it was unbelievable.
DeleteThat is definitely FF's kind of Salad.
ReplyDeleteI think you may be right!
Deleteright now I am living on salads and protein...must loose the weight by next Summer.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Millie! :-)
DeleteI love golden beetroots - as much for the beautiful colour as much as the taste! And pumpkin seeds are one of my favourite salad toppers, especially dry fried til they pop!
ReplyDeleteJoey, here I am TRYING to be healthy, and you talk about frying pumpkin seeds till they pop! Oh, the humanity.
DeleteI recently found some yellow beets at the organic market. They are so delicious in salads. I've dressed them with a little apple cider vinegar, maply syrup and chipotle powder. I hope I can find more of them next time.
ReplyDeleteLovlie, that sounds like a yummy recipe!
DeleteThis looks amazing! I've very new to the beet game and have not tried golden beets but I've heard they have a less "earthy" flavor going on? I would love to make this a roasted beet salad in the fall too!
ReplyDeleteSarah, these beets are so perfect with this salad. Just get them fresh, and they'll taste great.
DeleteOh yum yum yum! What a wonderful bowl of nutrients that is :D
ReplyDeleteSandy, I agree, thank you! :-)
