A yummy recipe for you!

Here is a recipe for you that looks healthy and delicious! From the Whole Living Magazine. (and altered a little)**

Avocado, Beet, and Orange Salad

1 small bunch beets (1 lb.), trimmed
2 TBSP olive oil
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 TBSP orange juice
2 avocados
2  navel oranges, peel and pith removed, segmented
2 cups spinach
2 TBSP nut of your choice (not peanut-those are not nuts but legumes)
Salt and pepper for seasoning


1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Wrap beets tightly in foil and roast until tender, about 1 hour. Once cool, remove the skin and slice. 2. Whisk vinegar, orange juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over beets, avocados, oranges, and spinach. Top with nuts.

So maybe you think you hate beets. But give them a try-I used to think I hated them, and then I tried them and have loved them ever since. Anything that has that rich of a color is really good for you!

**Original recipe has bread, which I left out of this for the 21-day challenge participants during their fruit and veggie fast.
