Coconut Beet Salad
This salad is delicious and naturally sweet. Being raw, it is full of beneficial enzymes. It can be served as a snack on a warm day or even as a dessert. Even my most picky eater friends have tried it and loved it! Coconut is high in medium chain fatty acids, which the body uses immediately for a source of energy. Coconut is also rich in lauric acid, known to have anti-viral, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal properties. Beets purify the blood and help the liver in detoxification. This is a high fiber dish with 3.6 grams per serving. The colors are beautiful and dramatic! Enjoy!
