Can you believe I had never tasted a beet until I was in my mid-30s? Now, I’m obsessed.
My first exposure to my favorite salad addition was when I enjoyed brunch at my older friend Vickie’s house. She happened to be my OBGYN who delivered my daughter, and we reconnected as blogging friends after an illness forced her to retire…
