Beet Salad
This recipe originally came from epicurious.com and ever since I tried it I have been in love with beets! It is best to cook the beets ahead of time and mix the ingredients together, then let chill in the fridge for 1 hour. It can also be eaten warm if you prefer.
I like to use Kauai grown beets (especially a mix of ruby red and golden beets) and feta from Kunana Dairy.
