Spiralized Beet and Blue Cheese Salad

Ingredients

2-3 large beets (about 2 pounds), peeled and spiralized using a 3mm blade

1 bunch green onion, thinly sliced into rounds

6 ounces firm blue cheese, crumbled, or more to taste

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, or to taste

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 clove garlic, pushed through a garlic press

1/3 cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Spread spiralized beets out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons water over the top and then tightly cover the baking sheet with another sheet of aluminum foil.

Roast beets in the preheated oven until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven, drain any accumulated liquid, and cool completely.

Combine cooled beet noodles, green onion, blue cheese, and dill in a large bowl.

Whisk red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and garlic, together in a small bowl.

Slowly whisk oil into dressing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Pour dressing over beets and toss salad to coat.

Day 18

March 9

Breakfast - Greek yogurt, plain mixed nuts, peanut butter, apple, grapes, hempseed, chia seeds, stevia.  Thanks, Mom!

Lunch - Salad from Mangos restaurant - chicken, lettuce, cheese, tomato, avocado.  Chicken was gross and the salad was generally flavorless.  Won't try that again.  I didn't eat the taco bowl.

Dinner - avocado toast, sweet potato pancakes, cutie, pero/postum

Super Satisfying breakfast invented by Dave, made by Mom.
Usually sweetened with honey but I threw a little stevia in there instead.

Mangos salad from Mangos restaurant Mesa.  Just no.

Dinner - more like a nighttime snack really - avocado toast, sweet potato pancakes, cutie, pero/postum

Day 7 Mexican Monday

February 26
6:15 lemon water with turmeric
6:45 oat groats with milk, berries, stevia; grapefruit juice

10:45 1/3 Ezekiel English muffin avocado toast, 1/2 apple
I was wondering why I was so hungry since it wasn't nearly lunchtime, but looking at this now I see it's because I hadn't eaten in 4 hours!

Long walk to the farm to feed the goats and chickens.  Yay baby goats and teenage chicks!

12:15 string cheese, raw mushrooms, cherry tomatoes (This snack is aka 'grab whatever you see in the front of the fridge as you run out the door to the Jr. High')

3:00 brown rice, madras lentils, roasted asparagus, mushrooms, tomatoes, milk
I consciously chose to put less on my plate than my eyes wanted me to because I have been overstuffing myself.  Turns out this was just the right amount (this is a salad plate, not a dinner plate).

6:00 tacos - zoodles, ground turkey, black beans, lettuce, tomato, cheese, guacamole, salsa
Raw cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers dipped in ranch dip (greek yogurt mixed with a ranch packet)

10:00 sf hot chocolate in milk

I'll be taking the time to make more turmeric capsules so I can swallow it instead of drink it.
This was gross.  But it was worth a try.

Breakfast

Late lunch with very messy asparagus. :-)  These tomatoes are like candy.
