    Raspberry Beet Salad

    A super-fast salad that's sure to please. I couldn't help myself from adding thin sliced of steamed candy beets but they're totally optional. Taste-wise the star of this dish are the sweet and tangy raspberries and cherry tomatoes. The dressing is also sure to become one of your favorites. I actually hate store-bought raspberry vinaigrettes but this home made one is beyond delicious; raspberries, champagne vinegar, fresh lemon thyme, a dash of salt and honey, and olive oil of course make for a delicious dressing.

    Raspberry Beet Salad

    I love a good salad, not a sad salad with frozen iceberg lettuce and tasteless tomatoes! The dressing I made was really nice, so even if you don’t want to make this salad go ahead and shake that dressing up! Fresh raspberries, champagne vinegar, thyme and honey make for a delicious combination! As long as you keep the raspberries and vinaigrette this salad is modifiable any way you like. Trade out the greens for your favorite, substitute toasted pecans for almond slivers or throw some homemade croutons in. It’s all delicious as long as the ingredients are fresh.

    I love cherry tomatoes when they’re in season! Paired with creamy avocado and crunchy almonds they make for an amazing salad!

    I could have this with my curried butternut squash soup, some french bread and be completely sated!

    If you don’t have champagne vinegar handy, white wine vinegar works just as well.

    No lemon thyme? Regular fresh thyme is fine too!
