Beets have powerful antioxidants called betalains that are known for their anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. This recipe is one of the easiest (and tastiest!) ways to enjoy cooked beets. Beets have an earthy flavor that is offset by a sweet citrus vinaigrette in this bright and flavorful salad. You can add the beets to the salad warm or wait for them to cool, either way they complement this nutritious salad perfectly.
