  • Beet salad with walnuts! With prices climbing, a lot of us are cutting back. So here's a reminder of a wonderful salad that's gentle on digestion, always a hit at any gathering, and easy on the wallet. All you need is everyone's favorite beet, sweet sun-ripened prunes, and a handful of walnuts. The common beet (Beta vulgaris) is grown all over the world; sugar beet varieties can be up to 23% sugar, while the table beets used here have that deep red color and earthy sweetness that pairs beautifully with the prunes and nuts. Beets like warmth, light, and steady moisture, but they're fairly drought- and salt-tolerant too.
