Beet and Onion Salad


Beets are delicious and often forgotten about.  They are high in Carbohydrates and low in fat, which means you'll get plenty of energy from eating them without all of that fat! The only time I really even eat beets is on a Greek Salad, and even though this isn't a far departure, it's a great beginning course to a meal.

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 Can of beets - julienned
1/2 Small sweet onion - sliced
1/4 Cup Gorgonzola crumbles
Mixed Greens for serving

DRESSING:
2 Tbs. Apple Cider vinegar
1 Tbs. Honey
1 Garlic clove
1/2 Tbs. Dijon Mustard 
4 Tbs. Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

1.  In a small bowl mix together the dressing ingredients.  Pour the dressing over the beets, onion, and cheese.  Refrigerate the salad mixture up to an hour ahead of time.

2.  Serve the beet salad on top of a bed of mixed greens and enjoy!
