In the winter months I want root vegetables on my plate. I crave them! This salad is just what my body needs. It’s topped with a winter citrus vinaigrette that compliments the golden beets beautifully.
If your’e not a fan of beets, but want them incorporated into your diet for all the health benefits, the milder golden beets will be perfect for you.
