I have been eatin a lot more salads since I have been back in training. This looks like a good one. Sounds refreshing!
Great recipe. I love the mixed flavores. How do you keep the beets from bleeding into the rest of the ingredients?
If you served it with in a couple hours the beets wont bleed as much. The next day however, all red. If the bleeding bothers you I would make it and eat it on the same day.
