This is a fun + funky + nutritional boosting twist of your average slaw!!  It is always a hit at potlucks + cookouts

BEETS!!

I’m a huge fan of beet greens,but the greens on these guys had seen better days!..

So I savored the stems instead!..

After a little rinse + cutting I cooked them on med-high heat for 5 minutes with 1 teaspoon of sushi vinegar + turned off the heat,allowing them to remain on the stove + covered for another 5 to 10 minutes..

YUMM!! Beet stems are very similar to Swiss Chard.. no salt necessary!
