Recipe
- Bring the water to a rolling boil. Place the beets in the water, simmer until soft (check softness with tip of a knife). Once soft, drain the beets in a colander and place under cold water. When cool enough to handle, remove the skins, they should slide off.
- Slice the beets into 1/4 inch thick slices and place them in a bowl.
- In a small bowl whisk the olive oil, salt, black pepper, herbs and lime juice.
- Place all the ingredients (except the almonds) in a wide bowl and toss them gently.
- Garnish with toasted almonds (and wildflowers if you’d like)!
*Pre-heat the oven to 350’. Place the almonds in a baking tray and toast them for 8 minutes or until golden.
