IsraELI salad

Ingredients

• 3 beets
• 3 limes
• 1 bunch of cilantro
• 1/3 of a cup of olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Wash and scrub beets (no need to peel them). Grate them and place them in a large bowl. Wash cilantro and cut all the stems off, keeping only the leaves. This is a tedious process but it really makes the difference in this salad. I use it as an exercise to learn to slow down and focus on the task right in front of me. Mix all the leaves with the graded beets. Add the juice of the limes and the olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
It is a really good side dish for barbecues.
Enjoy!

My sister Marcela taught me how to make this dish after her visit to Israel about 10 years ago. I have converted a few beet-haters with this simple and delicious salad, so give it a try!
