Beet Salad

  • 2 large beets or a 2 15oz cans cubed beets
  • 1 cup carrots matchstick carrots
  • 3 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 Tablespoon finely diced red onion
  • 2 Tablespoons light mayo
  • salt and pepper to taste
If using fresh beets boil them until tender, about 45 min. Peel and chop them into cubes about 1/2 inch. Quickly boil the carrots for about 2 minutes. You still want them to have some crisp. Combine everything and mix well. I save half the cilantro for garnish on top. It's fun for the kids to see the carrots are pink not orange when it is all mixed up! Serve chilled or room temp. This is a great substitute for potato salad.
