Dr Weil Greek Salad Recipes

ROBUST BEET SALAD BY DR ANDREW WEIL

Steps:

• Cut off the beet tops about an inch above the beet. In a large pot cover the beets with three inches of cold water and bring to a boil. Cover and boil over medium heat until tender, about 45 minutes.
• Drain the beets under cool running water. Slip off their skins. Trim off stems and root ends and slice the beets thinly.
• Combine the sliced beets in a bowl with the other ingredients, add salt to taste, and chill. Stir several times.
• This salad will keep for a week in the refrigerator.

CHINESE GREEN BEAN SALAD BY DR ANDREW WEIL

Steps:

• Trim and cut the green beans into 1-inch lengths. Cook in rapidly boiling water, about 5 minutes or until crunchy-tender.

• Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl with a whisk until well blended.
• Toss the green beans with the ginger root, red onion and dressing.
• Serve immediately.
