BEET HORSERADISH SALAD DRESSING
From the Kripalu Cookbook
This is great great great dabbed on goat cheese on top of anything, and beautiful. Also I have used it as a base for a vinagrette. 
  • 1 cup scrubbed chopped fresh beets
  • I cup water
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 and a half teaspoons horseradish
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon umeboshi vinegar
In a small saucepan, combine beets and water and bring to a boil. Add the salt. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 20 minutes, or until beets are tender.  Blend everything in blender or food processor. 


JUST FRESH GREEN SAUCE FOR EVERYTHING SUMMER
Fresh parsley, cilantro apple cider vinegar, and cloves of garlic blended. So good.
