Beet And Veggie Salad

- 20 Min. to make
- Serves 2
The only beets I can get in Samoa are canned. At least they are a good brand and quite tasty, without heaps of additives. There is always a jar of these in my fridge. All the other veggies are fresh. This salad and a sausage skewer or two, with some good bread, makes a delightful lunch. Read more I doubt this dish ever comes out the same twice. Add to or leave out as you wish. Serves 2. See less
