Hello my Dearest Foodies,
Are you beetroot lovers? Well I know some who are and some who are quite the opposite, lol. Nevertheless, whether you are or not, I must tell you that I surprise myself with the delicious flavor of this salad.
Besides, it can't get any easier to make it, yet the health benefits and nutritional value are enormous. I am sure most of you already know them, however, in case yo do not you can read it HERE about BEETROOT. About QUINOA PLEASE READ HERE. In the nutshell, they are both superfoods, there for, you would do yourself a huge favor if you try it, lol.
I also like to recommend to eat it with sweet potato oven baked fries. That way this meal is truly complete and satisfying.
