Always remember the more firm and crunchy your veggies are the more nutrients you are consuming and your body will be replenished with!
Beet salad is healthy and packed full of vitamins and nutritients that vitamins can give in a sense but is waiting for the break down really worth it when you can just eat the greens and get the energy now!
Beets are rich in chlorphyll, they are very powerful cleansers and builders of blood. Betacyanin is the phytochemical in beautiful beets, and give the veggies their rich color, amethyst like, and guess what they reduce homocysteine levels. Also, beets are loaded wih A, B complex vitamins (B1, B2, B6) and C, high content of iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, sodium, choline, folic acid, iodine, manganese, potassium, fiber and carbs (the natural digestive sugar types...good carbs).
Beets iron, is not high enough to just eat beets all the time, however it is the highest and is an excellent blood builder!

Chef Ariella's Fennel Beet Salad
Chef Ariella's Fennel Beet Salad
6 beets
beet greens from the beets
1 tsp sage
1 tsp fennel
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp olive oil
Wash greens at least three times to get off grit and any little critters that may have took a ride! Ask GOD for the goodness of the salad you are going to have and thank the beets for nourishing your being!
Also remember: if you don't have enough beet greens, spinach and swiss chard are close relatives, so mixing together is a great way to get your nutrition 3 servings in one meal...yum!
On medium, Saute beets in olive oil for about 3 minutes, stir one and a half minutes and cover. Rough chop beet greens, put in pan with seasoning, mix, one more minutes, next turn off and cover until ready to eat.
Always remember the more firm and crunchy your veggies are the more nutrients you are consuming and your body will be replenished with!
Dressing of choice, my choice is my brown ginger dressing....
