Note: Though completely raw beets are healthiest, to make them easier to peel and cut, cook or microwave them briefly - until you can pierce through maybe ½ inch past the surface. Once they're cool enough to handle, they'll be easier to peel and chop.

Wow! This was amazing! I utilized three things from my CASA ~ the beets, red cabbage and dill! This is an amazing early summer slaw that pairs well with any type of burger, a sandwich, or just by itself! Cool, crisp, refreshing, and SO good for you!
