Let’s Get Started!

Ingredients Needed

• 1 raw beet, diced
• 1 Golden or other apple, diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• Balsamic vinegar (just enough to coat)
• 1 lime

Directions

1. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix to coat all pieces.
2. Squeeze the lime over top.
3. Feel free to experiment with adding whatever other fruits and vegetables sound good to you. Strawberries for example would be great during the season. There are also different types of balsamic vinegars such as white balsamic which has more of a sweet-tart fruity flavor. Make it a spring time resolution to try new flavors and enjoy the experience, even when they don’t turn out to be your favorite.

Benefits

1. Beets help with lowering blood pressure, boosting stamina and the immune system. They are also known to help fight cancer and inflammation.
2. Red onions contain plenty of vitamins and minerals, including folate, thiamine, calcium, magnesium and vitamin C, K, and B-6.
3. Apples are very high in antioxidants, flavonoids, and fiber. Antioxidants help reduce the risk of developing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.
