Healthy salad recipe

1 cup grated red beets

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup chopped pistachios

3/4 cup diced celery

1/2 cup chopped endive

1 medium cucumber, chopped

1/4 teaspoon cumin, ground

1 tablespoon ground flax seed

chopped garlic, 1 clove

pinch of cayenne pepper

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon sage

2 medium sized tomatoes, diced

Toss all ingredients together. For dressing, you can use my fruit/vinegar concoction (posted under “recipes – salad dressings”) – or mix some lemon juice, finely minced garlic and some low sodium soy sauce (or better still, Bragg’s Amino liquid).
