Using Micro Greens


Using micro greens is easy with this delicious and beautiful salad that my daughter created after enjoying a similar one at a trendy restaurant.

And by the way, it tastes as good as it looks!

  • 2 medium red beets
  • 2 medium golden beets

Roast or boil beets. Cool.

While beets cook and cool, melt butter in small frying pan over medium heat.Add pecans and stir to cover with butter. Add brown sugar and stir constantly until sugar is melted and pecans begin to brown. Add several grindings of fresh black pepper.
