CRANBERRY AND ROASTED BEET SALAD

Cranberry and Roasted Beet Salad image

I created this as a healthy, tasty side dish to complement Christmas dinner. This enticing substitute for cranberry relish is excellent with turkey. Even the children loved it! Serve the beet blend alone or on a bed of salad greens. -Brianna St. Clair, Worland, Wyoming
