BEET MACARONI SALAD

Beet Macaroni Salad image

Just mention the word "beet" and most kids turn up their noses. Our two children never rushed to the table for beets...but now, when I mention that I'm serving this salad, the response is just the opposite. My mother would prepare dish for me when I was a little girl. It was the only way I'd eat this ruby vegetable.-Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
