Beets are an excellent source of folic acid and a very good source of fiber, manganese, and potassium. You can roast beets, but I love the flavor when they’re raw. They are sweet, but also have an earthy flavor that is especially delicious in salads or juices.
I love a good salad, and this beet salad is delicious and refreshing on its own, or you can have it as a side with some grilled chicken or fish. It’s also perfect in wraps. If you don’t usually eat your beets raw, I strongly urge you to give this a go. You won’t regret it. It is incredibly easy to put together, too.
