Potatoe and beet salad. Cook potatoes like you would for potatoe salad and slice. Cook beets and slice. If you like onion in your salad, slice in some onion. Salt, pepper, vinnnegar and oil dressing.

Okay. In all honesty, I’ve never liked beets. Maybe I’ll have to give one of these recipes a try to see if anything has changed.

They sure LOOK good 🙂

I am not a beet lover. I see that they are very good for you so maybe I’ll try the beet and goat cheese arugula salad….
