Beet, apple, and carrot salad

I made this healthy snack  for a salad tonight at dinner. However, I simplified it a bit:

  • 1 beet, peeled and shredded
  • 2 carrots, peeled and shredded
  • 1 apple, peeled and shredded
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (and a squirt for taste)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • I also chopped up a handful of nuts in my slap chop and threw those in.

mmmmmm….

Put it all in a bowl, and toss with a pair of forks.

For effect, it is best served on a bed of mixed greens. I will have to take a picture next time.

Wine of the week: Caprice du Temps Ermitage (Canal 9 in Valais)

They’ve just reviewed one of my in-law’s wine on Canal 9 in Valais: Cave Caprice du Temps, Ermitage. Some quotes from the review: “Good wine doesn’t need to be talked about.” and “This wine reflects the face of the place and the heart of the winemaker.” (Roughly translated).

Here is a link to the write up on the blog: valaisduvin.blogvie.com.

Rain, there is a chalet with your name on it, waiting for you in Switzerland. No, really
