Beet Salad w/Horseradish recipe

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Several folks at the potluck yesterday after the Hartmann court appearance asked

for a copy of my Beet Salad recipe. I'll post it here as well as under " files "

for future reference. Glad you liked it! And I'm glad so many folks showed up

in Gaylord, MN yesterday to support Mike and Diane.

Beetroot Salad with Onion and Horseradish

Beetroot is nutritious and energizing, rich in potassium, silica, iron, amino

acids and vitamins A, B and C. It is ideal as a blood tonic in anemia and is

traditionally used in debilitating diseases and convalescence. It is neutral

with a sweet taste and acts as a tonic for Qi, blood and yin. Horseradish is

stimulating, pungent, sweet and hot to energize yang and clear damp and phlegm.

It clears food stagnation and phlegm-heat from the lungs. Onion, like garlic,

is a good anti-bacterial. This salad makes an energizing lunch or starter which

is also idea during colds, flu and convalescent.

Serves 3 -4

10 oz cooked beetroot

1 T horseradish

1 onion, finely chopped

2-3 T olive oil

1-2 T wine or cider vinegar

salt and black pepper

2 T chopped fresh parsley, to garnish

Grate the peeled beetroot into a bowl and mix with the grated fresh horseradish

and onion.

To make the dressing, combine the olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper and mix

well.

Pour the dressing over the beetroot mixture and toss to mix. Garnish with the

chopped parsley. Serve with crisp French bread for a light lunch or starter.
