ROBUST BEET SALAD BY DR ANDREW WEIL



Robust Beet Salad by Dr Andrew Weil image

Found this online. My crowd is big on beets and big on things with a hot kick. This looks very promising. Hope to try it soon. If you don't like to boil beets, you can surely roast them instead (yum), or, if in a pinch for time, use canned beets.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 53m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs beets
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar or 1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon wasabi powder (Japanese horseradish)
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, sliced thin
salt

Steps:

  • Cut off the beet tops about an inch above the beet. In a large pot cover the beets with three inches of cold water and bring to a boil. Cover and boil over medium heat until tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Drain the beets under cool running water. Slip off their skins. Trim off stems and root ends and slice the beets thinly.
  • Combine the sliced beets in a bowl with the other ingredients, add salt to taste, and chill. Stir several times.
  • This salad will keep for a week in the refrigerator.

DR. ANDREW WEIL'S GRILLED OR BROILED SALMON



Dr. Andrew Weil's Grilled or Broiled Salmon image

This recipe is based on one from Dr. Andrew Weil's book, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health. Use wild salmon for optimum health benefits as it tastes better and is more nutritious, and eating it does not have the environmental impact of eating farmed salmon, nor the health risks associated with it. Cook time doesn't include the 1-3 hours marinating time in the 'fridge. This makes a great meal with rice and a cooked vegetable or salad.
