Best Robust Beet Salad By Dr Andrew Weil Recipes
ROBUST BEET SALAD BY DR ANDREW WEIL
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.

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.

EGGPLANT WALNUT PATE BY DR ANDREW WEIL
from his website. He writes, "Traditional pâtés are often made from high-fat meats and liver. They can be delicious and quite elegant, but less than nutritious. This vegetarian version is sophisticated, filled with flavor, and healthful. Enjoy it on a special occasion or as an everyday spread with whole-grain crackers."

From "Eight Weeks to Optimal Health". I haven't tried it yet but want to post it for safekeeping. Dr Weil says: Here is an unusual, healthy dessert made from the staple grain-like seed of the high Andes, now available in specialty food shops and health-food stores.

CHINESE GREEN BEAN SALAD BY DR ANDREW WEIL
from his website. He writes, "This bright green, crunchy salad is bursting with Asian flavors and is so easy to prepare. Look for fresh, plump organic green beans if you can find them. Cook them until they are bright green and still crunchy-tender. At this point you can keep the green beans refrigerated. Toss them with the dressing just before serving or the acid in the dressing will dull the bright green color."

RAW BEET SALAD
I was looking for a way to use raw beets and found a recipe online. I changed it a bit to use ingredients that I grow and use. It's so yummy and is so nutritious because the nutrition isn't cooked out of the beets. Everyone that has tried it, likes it. It's better if let set for a few hours but doesn't have to be. Serve for a cold lunch with boiled eggs on a bed of lettuce.
