Cook’s Note
Even beet haters will love this salad. Okay, maybe not, but if any recipe could win over a fussy eater, it's this one. It's super simple to whip together and with a piece of grilled chicken or fish you've got another dinner in the bag. Tip: If you can peel an apple, you can peel a beet. That's right, an apple peeler is the perfect tool to peel a beet.
