So I get it, there are many people who for some reason do not like beets… however for us that actually love all types of food I found this delicious salad while visiting a dear friend who knows that I love all types of vegetables, however I am not completely sure where she got the recipe. As you all beet lovers know that the root vegetable is extremely healthy to enhance blood flow, and a very important fact.. they help improve the health of arteries! they even help reduce LDL cholesterol; and when you mix them with oranges the flavor these two combine is an explosion of deliciousness in your mouth!
