DRESSING
Shredding the beets in this side dish cuts down the cooking time considerably.

This was good. I think that it needs some salt to bring out the flavor a bit more...but salt is a food group for me!! It has a very interesting taste. I can see that it wouldn't be for everyone...but if you like to experiment then try this recipe. It does make a lot so make sure you use a large skillet to cook this in.
