- To serve, place a portion of shredded beet salad on top of your favorite greens and garnish with a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
Consejos:
- Substitute golden beets for red beets.
- If dried cherries are hard, soften them up by pouring hot water over them and letting them sit for 10 minutes. Drain water and chop into bit sized pieces.
