I've gone to the beet side

Yesterday was breaded shrimp basket supper and that was tasty for sure- a grand way to celebrate Mom's Day.
Today I stepped back into the other side of the planet: beets. I'm really not a fan of beets. (My Mom loved them!)
I gave it a go. I boiled some nice little beets. I sliced them when they cooled. I slurped in some cider vinegar, feta cheese, minced garlic, minced radish, mint from our backstep garden. I dumped in some pecan bits. The whole thing turned out very tasty. Hubby loves beets. He ate a big helping and said he wanted a repeat. Most recipes call for oil added to the cider vinegar but I didn't think it was necessary. Neither of us missed the oil sheen.

I wouldn't eaither. My stomach isn't a huge fan of oil, anyway.

@kaylachan I'm loving our simple meals but I enjoyed the challenge of this salad.

@just4him I'm discovering new ways and old ways as I head into plant based health. I loved having a dinner salad that included mint that grows right outside my back door. I loved the color on the plate. I loved not having grease in my mouth. And yes, I did not harm any living thing by it.

Your beets do sound good. I really like pickled beets.

@celticeagle These beets did come across as pickled due to the cider vinegar. The Feta cheese is kind of sour, too, so that helped.

Ew We don't like the taste or smell of beets. I'm glad your hubby enjoyed them. Have a good day.

@LindaOhio Maybe I'm going back to my farmer roots as I learn to like beets.
