Healthy Holiday Appetizer

December 15, 2016

Roasted Beet Salsa Appetizer

 

If you’re looking for a healthy holiday appetizer, I want to introduce you to Roasted Beet Salsa! Beet Salsa is not only vibrant, the perfect color for your Christmas parties, it’s also delicious and healthy! How many holiday recipes can say that?!

There seems to be some foods that strike fear in the hearts of home cooks when it comes to preparation.

BEETS

They often seem to end up near the top of the list. Brussels sprouts may run a close second.

I think it’s because in days gone by, i.e. when our grandmothers and mothers made them, they boiled them within an inch of their lives turning them into mushy side dishes.

If only they had known the magic of ROASTING. How roasting turns these unassuming little vegetables into dishes deserving of center stage.
