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....

In Defense of Food
Check out at the library or purchase and read In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan!
Author Michal Pollan talks in depth to his readers about ways to eat healthier and sums up his healthier eating in six words..."Eat food. Not too much. Mostly Plants!" He also shares the major living concept of "Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food; that includes most processed , packaged products with more than five ingredients," he told Health magazine in April 2008.
It is important to use healthier food choices in every aspect of your life, remove the "if I could eat healthier," "if I could control my portions," or "if I had more money to spend" out of the equation and take it one step at a time. Taking a whole foods approach to eating out, at a family function or a dinner party, can create those miniture steps to well living. Look at what items you want to put on your plate and if what is included are fresh foods with pure ingredients like vegetables, fruits, herbs and milk products.
"The next time you go out to eat, try to order two appetizers instead of an entree. Appetizers are often the most simply prepared, fresh vegetable -based items on the menu." said Mr. Pollan.
