So, I had this salad at a cafe and this my recreation of it. I used canned beets but I think next time I make it I will try grated fresh beets.
What you need:
1 1/2 - 2 cups cooked quinoa
1 1/2 - 2 cups cooked wild rice
1can sliced beets or 2 cups fresh shredded beets
2 tbs fresh dill
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large salad bowl combine quinoa, rice, dill, salt and pepper. Add beets and mix together. Refrigerate for a few hours prior to serving to let all flavors combine,
* my friend Brad tells me that this salad mixed with Sophie's Favorite Carrot Salad (see previous post) is a very tasty mix.
I want to make sure that my family eats well. Don't want my kids eating a ton of processed sugar and chemicals however, I want to give them treats and delicious, interesting meals. Add to that my personal sensitivities to all things dairy, cane sugar and bakers yeast - it is a good thing I enjoy baking, cooking and experimenting with recipes. i also believe that making interesting, healthy meals for your family should not be complicated or difficult.
