Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I absolutely HATE cooked beets. However, I make a beet salad with these very same ingredients using diced raw beets. It's delicious and I always get compliments on it. Sometimes I will throw in some other veggies that have come with my CSA box such as kohlrabi or cabbage. -lurker, IBS-DSCD for real this time since 1/1/10 Huh, that sounds delicious Misty - but then i love beets.
