About

This is what I call a sustainable salad. It makes use of the beets and their greens. The nectarines complement the beets sweetly and the lime dressing really brings out the flavors of this lovely salad. Roasting the beets in foil means you can skip all the mess that comes with boiling them, including the red stains on the pots.
