Do you like beets? Most would answer a big fat NO! This is very surprising to me given their natural sweetness. My unofficial research leads me to believe this could be the result of people having beets out of a can, instead of fresh beets. Others may have preconceived thoughts that beets will not taste good. Let me be the first to introduce you to this traditional Moroccan beet salad recipe. I really think it will win you over. If so, let me know!
According to Encyclopedia Britannica Online, “The sugar beet is second only to sugarcane as the major source of the world’s sugar.”
Ingredients
- 4 medium size beets (1 1/5 lbs)
- 2 eggs sliced
- 2 tablespoons parsley

- 1 garlic clove minced
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
Vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of Grey Poupon
- dash of salt & pepper
Directions
Mix the sliced beets in a bowl with remaining ingredients, vinaigrette, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour before serving.
These aren’t raw beats are they?
Hi Terry! No, they are cooked. I purchase fresh beets. That’s what I would recommend.
