Golden beets are
scrumptious. They are sweeter and
less earthy than their red cousins.
I cook the beets ahead as I like to let them cool slowly in their
liquid. But you can cool them
rapidly in cold water, or even peel and grate them raw.

Wash the beets, cut off the
greens leaving about an inch of stems. Remove the stems, reserve the
greens for the slaw. Cover the beets with cool water in a small saucepan, add a
pinch of salt, put a cover on the pan and set the pan over med high heat.
Set a timer for 15 mins.
Reduce heat to medium for 30 mins.
Turn off heat & cool for several hours or overnight. Then rub off the skins.
Save time by peeling and grating the
beets raw if desired.

When ready to make the salad,
shred the cabbage, core and slice the apples, slice the beet greens and toss in
a large mixing bowl. Grate in the
peeled cooked or raw golden beets.
Stir in the grapefruit juice and zest.

Over medium heat for about 3
mins until the seeds and oil are fragrant. Pour over the salad and stir well.
Let the salad macerate for a few mins and serve. It’s extra crunchy when you first make
it. And a little more tender the
next day. It’s great as a salad,
but also makes a great slaw for tacos & burgers. For those that prefer slightly sweet veggies and fruit for
breakfast, this slaw would go well w/ the Hungry Harvest add on granola.
If you’re not a fan of
vinegar, add more grapefruit juice or a splash of lime juice. In addition to being the flavor seed in
many rye breads, caraway seeds are loaded w/ micro nutrients, flavonoids and
anti-oxidants. They aid in
digestion, are anti fungal and boost the immune system.
