Hey, Friends! Today
feels just Amazing! Christmas is upon us, and I feel like singing and smiling
over and over again. I just can't help myself lately but smile at any stranger who crossed my path.
Some of them smile me back, and some of them look at me like; mmm
mmmm...what is she smiling about! But I don't mind life has many
beautiful things that deserve a happy heart and a smile.
And been able to celebrate Christmas with the people I love is one
of those things. Just been able to gather, have time to talk and cheer over a
simple meal would be more than enough for me. I’ve always enjoyed simple, satisfying
meals, and I have many favorite recipes. Most of them are here in the blog, and
many of them have flavors that are also influenced by my home country.
This raw
beetroot salad is one of them. Kind of an Argentinian staple. It is a humble,
simple salad but very flavorful too. There are many variations from where I
come from, and everyone gives its personal twist according to taste. This salad is
one of the variations I enjoy the most. Sure, it is mainly shredded beets, but
that’s the best part of this salad. You can serve this as a side dish and add
any other root vegetables, fruits (and even nuts) of your choice. This crunchy,
tasty, nutritious, vegetarian salad could fit just right on any Christmas table,
and perhaps even be the salad that everyone would like to try. Give it a try!
Warmest holiday greetings and wishes of love and peace to you and your loved ones!
