grated beet and fruit salad!

I made yummy out of thin air! I don't invent recipes often, but an acquaintance told me about using grated raw beets in a salad months ago, and I went to the farmers' market after yoga today and there were the most perfect little yellow/orange beets calling to me.

So I made up a little salad recipe for myself:

1 small bunch yellow beets, scrubbed and grated
1 apple, peeled and grated
1/4 of an onion, grated

Add to the grated stuff:
juice of 1 large lemon
juice of 2 navel oranges
a squirt of honey
a few splashes of cloudberry vinegar (courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] nisaa, [livejournal.com profile] stevefava, and [livejournal.com profile] joedecker -- I'd guess that some other vinegar would also work)
a handful of dried cranberries

Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom!!!!!

My lunch consisted of this, roasted brussel sprouts, and 2 squares of organic chocolate...tough life, let me tell ya.
