Think about how good for you this salad is. Beets are absolutely magical and they are quite interesting alongside organic cottage cheese. Whenever I roast beets as part of a dinner menu, I like to prep extra for things like this.
Here’s how to roast the beets: Roasted Golden Beets
I don’t put this salad together ahead of time when I meal prep – I keep the diced beets in a container and make this up each day I’m going to eat it.
I put 1 serving together like this:
1 cup baby spring mix
1/2 cup roasted beets, diced
1/2 cup organic cottage cheese
1/2 tsp olive oil
12 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp sunflower seeds
Stir it up and enjoy the flavors, colors, and textures while thinking about the nutritious choice you just made for your health! There’s a reason that athletes intake beets. Google it if you want to read about all the ways that beets are a legal performance enhancer.
