Good Green & Earthy Pink Salad

Beets,the deep purple roots are eaten either raw or cooked,alone or combined with other veggies.The green leafy portion of the beets too is edible and can be added to some salads.When combined with other raw veggies like spinach, tomatoes, cucumber can be eaten as winter salad.It serves as a low calorie,high fibre,gluten free vegetarian diet that helps in boosting immunity and sounds nutritious for healthy pregnancy.Spinach has green goodness and beets have earthy flavours that brings colors and comfort to the dining table.

“To remember a successful salad is generally to remember a successful dinner; at all events, the perfect dinner necessarily includes the perfect salad.”


-George Ellwanger
