This is an alternative to the traditional cabbage slaw salad.
This colorful salad is tangy and sweet, suitable for every season. Primarily made with beets which are loaded with healthy nutrients including fiber, folate, manganese, potassium, iron and vitamin C. Beets have been associated with numerous health benefits, including improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and increased exercise performance.
