Delicious vegetarian beet salad: just 3 ingredients required

Hello everyone!

This summer is very hot all over the world. Frequently, I have seen on the social network that people don’t feel hungry, and I actually have experienced it myself.

When I looked in the store for some new vegetables, I found that there are fresh beets on the shelf. And, of course, I bought them. One morning, I was thinking of making something that I haven’t eaten for a while, and at that moment a memory of my Mom’s beet salad from childhood came to my head.

I looked on my raspberries and thought that there should be some solution. I wanted so badly to have whole raspberries for cake decorations and my morning smoothie bowls, and in one flash I new – I have a solution. Continue reading
