juice of  1/2 lemon

*I used  Love Beets brand cooked beets I bought at Costco. Alternatively, you can roast your beets.

My thoughts:

Tonight we are having my favorite kind of meal. I call it snackies and it is basically meat, cheese and bread for dinner. It is perfect for hot summer nights but we do have it year round (in the colder months we normally have some hot apps). So we aren’t totally unhealthy hedonists, I try and throw some fruit in there or something. Today I was feeling peppy so I tossed together this salad using some staples and odds and ends from the fridge. I was really pleased with how it turned out! It is light and refreshing with a nice mix of textures: tender beets, crisp cucumber, and crumbly cheese.
