Good Bite Says: Fresh beets and beets from a can are two totally separate animals. Fresh roasted or boiled beets can be sweet like candy and as an added benefit are exceptionally healthy, jam-packed with tons of antioxidants. The general rule for veggies is the darker the color the healthier the veg, so pomegranate, beets, dark greens like kale, collared greens- all super good for you. Anyway, back to beets. The orange flavor in this salad perfectly compliments the beets with a slight bite from the watercress and nutty earthiness from the walnuts. This salad is so tasty you won't believe it's healthy too!
