Beet & Avocado Detox Salad

I love beets, primarily for the reason that they're so GOOD for you and super sweet when you take them right out of the garden. We've been lucky this year - all of our beets that we planted have blossomed into some amazing deliciousness. You can certainly eat them raw, but one night I decided simply to boil them and slice them up for this easy salad.  

Most importantly, beets are great for the liver. They are a blood purifier and regenerator, and do a great job supporting the liver in all of its processes. It basically takes care of your whole body, so when you eat beets and other liver-supporting foods, you know that you're taking care of it right back. Win-win. 

2 cups beets, boiled, and sliced thin

1/2 vidalia onion, sliced thin

1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon flax seed oil

salt and pepper to taste

1 avocado, cubed

The amounts here are really estimated - use what you have on hand. If you only have 1 cup of beets, that's also fine. But I love the creamy avocado with the spicy onion, sour vinegar, smooth flax seed oil, and sweetness of the beets. In a pinch, you have so many different tastes in one dish! 

Combine everything except the avocado and give it a good stir. Place the avocado on top, give it one quick stir, and enjoy!
