Pistachio & Beet Salad
Fresh sweet beets, in a light dressing, are tossed with tangy cheese for a great tasting side dish. Pistachios boost the flavor, add a much needed ‘crunch’ to balance out the softness of the beets, as well they give a beautiful contrasting color to make this salad look as beautiful as it tastes.

Try to use organic beets, as sugar beets are one of the foods that are GMO

Will try the beet salad this weekend looks nice thank you
Sound delightful as I am currently dealing with GERD. Need the relief from the constant Reflux. This type of live food really sets my mind a-fire!
I will try this salad over the holydays…..sounds delicious . Can I use pickled beets instead of the fresh beets?
Of course! I might rinse the beets rinse first, or let them sit in some water for a bit to try and remove some of the vinegar.
