Marinated Beets & Greens

July 20, 2020 – 8:13 am

Fresh beets with their greens are so lovely (visually and for the taste buds).  Here is a recipe inspired by one on Genius Kitchen that skips the roasting or boiling steps as beets, like their carrot friends, are wonderful thin sliced or shredded and raw!  Works as a cracker alternative too, with some nice cheese.
