Sweety Beety and Apple Salad
Yummy, healthy and oh so satisfying, this salad is a knockout. The more you eat the better you feel. Beets support blood circulation, the heart, liver, and large intestine. High in boron, a mineral critical for hormone production, beets treat anemia, are anti-inflammatory, purify the blood, and alleviate constipation. Apples are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda to treat the heart, lungs and large intestines. Apples are rich in pectin to help lower cholesterol, and flavonoid antioxidants to help protect against heart disease
Make the beets sweeter by quickly sautéing in 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil before mixing with the apple.
