I love beets, they are so delicious and full of nutritional benefits. They are particularly rich in folate, a vitamin that is important for a healthy heart. Adding avocados to salads is a great way to help you absorb more nutrients from other vegetables, so toss in an avocado if you have one laying around. It will give the salad a delicious, creamy texture.
