    I made the salad and yes, it is perfect. I didn’t have cranberries so used pomegranate instead. I have made your lentil loaf, it’s the best recipe I’ve ever found for that. Thank you for your passion for good food and the creativity you bring to the table!

  • @crankiemanx8423 says:

    Delicious recipes !! ✨ i usually make a very similar beetroot salad which is mostly beets then it has added arugula or rocket as we call it here in Australia,baby spinach, pecans or walnuts(sometimes i make it nut free with toasted pumpkin seeds),vegan feta, s& p,red balsamic vinegar & olive oil.i also add strawberry wine vinegar when i have it.i usually steam the beets & add the s& p & condiments & leave them in the fridge overnight to soak up the flavours then add the rest of the ingredients the next day. I’m going to try your version of the salad & the other recipes as well,it all looks delicious.thanks again for a another great vid.wishing you & crystal a wonderful christmas & lots of good health & happiness for the year ahead.β€οΈβ€οΈβœ¨πŸŒ²πŸŽ€πŸ
