Beet and Green Bean Salad Recipe
One can never go wrong with salad recipes. It's a matter of choosing and mix-matching personal favorite greens, reds, nuts, cheeses and what have you. The other half of the equation is using the right dressing - vinegary, creamy, sweet or healthy like yogurt.
I love green beans and beets so when I crave for a healthy salad, they're on the top of my ingredient list. And did I just say "healthy?" So I chose a healthy yogurt dressing and walnuts for my topping.
