beet salad

i love beets!

i pretty much order them every restaurant we go to.

i've recently enjoyed beet salads here, here and here.

so naturally, i decided to make a similar version at home.

ingredients

1 bunch of beets

low fat cottage cheese

pistachios

2 cups arugula

olive oil

balsamic vinegar

salt & pepper

directions

1. trim roots and leaves from beets.

place in a large pot and cover with water.

bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a fork

(about 30-45 minutes)

(two bunches of beets shown here)

2. let beets cool, slip off the skin, then slice.

3. place a handful of arugula on each place.

top with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar

arrange beet slices, top with 1/4 cup cottage cheese, and a handful of pistachios.

flavor with salt and pepper to your liking.

4. super delicious if you ask me.

but i just made it up :)
