My Beet Love Affair...

Roasted Beet & Apple Salad

I'm having a love affair with beets!!!! Can't get enough of these bad boys! Have you ever tasted something that took you back to a beautiful moment in time? That's what beets do for me..Just their earthy smell, sweet and nutty taste send me right back to my grandmother's small yellow kitchen.

This salad is a toss up of Grannie Smith Apples, Red Onions, Fresh Mint, Lemon, Coconut Oil, Agave and RiceVinegar. I roast my beets in Coconut Oil and Kosher Salt...for me this is the perfect combination.

I'm in love...with beets:) LOL
