This recipe for a cold Bean and Beet Salad is a long-time favorite of mine to take to Christmas potlucks. First, it has the colors of the season. Secondly, it’s a delicious vegetable dish that few would think to bring. Thirdly, it’s pretty healthy. And lastly, it’s pretty easy to make. What’s not to love?!
I made this dish for a potluck last Saturday and, as usual, I had people raving about it and wanting the recipe. I blog mostly about kids and families, but I wanted to give you this little Christmas bonus simply because I thought you might enjoy it. I give you no guarantee the kids will like it though!
