Beet and Orange Salad with Goat Cheese
I truly think that beets are underrated. They are so easy to make, taste so delicious and are so healthy. I know that many find them to be too “earthy” tasting for their palate, but that is exactly why you need to pair them with something sweet…like an orange! It may seem like an unorthodox…
