SIMPLE BALSAMIC SALAD DRESSING
1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

As the holiday season approaches, we will fill our plates with endless appetizers, snacks, sweets and loads of turkey, beef roast and the like. If you are like me and the holidays are a foodie cheat season, prepare in advance by fueling your body with nourishing whole, raw foods. This salad is a great start.
These is something special about the taste of roasted, earthy, sweet beets,
