Cooking to the Beat of Beet Salad!

Beets are my best friend. Honestly, raw, cooked, with the skin, without the skin, I will eat them however.  If I am not eating them alone, then I usually put them in a salad. I'm going to share this recipe I made that is a really fresh salad, that is raw vegan, and beyond healthy for you. If you don't fancy beets, well you will after this.

All you are going to need is..
6 small- medium beets
1/2 can chickpeas 
5 Small radishes 
1/4 red onion 
2 green onion springs
2 tbsp mustard seeds
3 tbsp lemon juice
4 tbsp Vinegar
A handful of Sunflower seeds
A handful of pumpkin seeds

First, using a knife, carefully cut off the skin of the beets, as they can sometimes be bitter. Chop the beets up into cubes and place them in a bowl. Next, cut the ends off the radishes and slice them in halves, adding them too to the bowl. Than, using scissors, chop the green onion and add them to the bowl along with the mustard seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chickpeas. Mix them together and add the lemon juice and vinegar, mixing that as well. Finally, dice the red onion, or using a spirolizer spirolize it, and sprinkle on top of the mixture. Dig in!

Eating beets to the beat,
