Honey Tips

How Honey is Made

To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.

Directions

Cut cooked beets in half and slice into ΒΌ-inch thick slices. Sprinkle with chives, parsley and walnuts.
In a small bowl whisk together dressing ingredients. Pour over beets and toss. Set aside at room temperature for 1-2 hours to allow flavors to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
