Honey Tips

How Honey Is Created

Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.

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.
Serves: 4-6
