You guys. When you’re looking at magazines, do you save the recipes? I do. Usually when I find one that I’m interested in trying, I’ll search it on the web and then pin it to my Pinterest page for later. Every once in a while, I can’t find the recipe and I have to just pin a picture of the recipe. That’s what happened with this one.
Seriously… I had to save it. I mean, how often do I find a recipe for spiralized beet salad???
This dish. My goodness! I made a batch last night and I have two servings since! It is such a bright, beautiful salad… and I mean that in both taste and appearance! It was my very first time slicing asparagus, and I definitely need some practice on that. I’ll be making it again, because practice makes perfect!
