Yummy I love beets

Me three!! I make a fresh beet salad with goat cheese, glazed walnuts and dried cranberries over greens. A simple vinagrette tops it off! Yumma!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

BTW....Trader Joes has fresh, cooked & peeled beets in the refrigerator case and they're awesome! I use them all the time. Tastes homemade. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

For a different type of beet recipe, add to your beets:

- 2 tsp. of cinnamon
- 15 to 20 whole cloves
- balsamic vinegar
- brown sugar
I will admit that I use canned or jar beets.
