Detoxifying Roasted Beet Salad With Strawberry Vinaigrette
The beet is definitely a super food. They are loaded with antioxidants that give them their characteristic deep purple color. These compounds help fight free radicals and prevent oxidative stress. Beets are also a good source of immune-boosting vitamin C, B6, potassium, magnesium, boron, manganese, and fiber. These nutrients support detoxification of the liver and kidneys and help the flow of lymphatic fluid.
Not only are they nutritious, but when roasted and topped with strawberry vinaigrette, they also taste absolutely DELICIOUS!
So here is a quick and easy recipe that incorporates beets and can be served as a side or even a main dish. This recipe is perfect for those participating in Dr. Colbert’s 21-Day Detox!
