Today's Salad - Warm Just Picked Kale and Beet Salad

So far this season we have only harvested baby beets at the farm. Today I decided to scrub them clean with a brush, half them (skins on) and then throw them down the shoot of the food processor fitted with a grater attachment so that they could be included in this tasty warm kale salad.

What you need:
1 Bunch of Kale (washed and cut into thin strips – like coleslaw)
8 Baby Beets washed and halved with skins on then grated (use a food processor if you have one)
1 White Onion Sliced into Half Moons
Balsamic Vinegar
Spoonful of Honey
Olive Oil

Heat a large sauté pan and drizzle in the olive oil. Add the onions and sauté over medium until caramelized – about 10 minutes. Add in beets and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes.

Then add in the kale and stir until the kale is wilted (but not yet brown). Remove from heat.

Stir in honey.
