Sounds very refreshing and healthy! What are golden beets? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them.
Hi Stephanie! My coop carries Golden Beets sometimes–when they are in season/less expensive I go for them over the red. They are mild & sweet & usually a deep rich yellow inside. A great post on them here:
Let me know if you try them! (the recipe will work with red ones too, but the color won’t be quite as pretty!)
Sounds so refreshing!
Thanks Jeni! I hope you like it if you get to try
YUM, lots of goodies in this one! Got it tweeted and pinned to our Gluten Free Fridays board! Thanks for linking up!
