I have been trying to stay away from sugar, which has been kind of hard since I have such a sweet tooth. I grew up baking, and enjoyed to sit down with a nice cup of green tea and a slice of cake. But ever since I got on the healthier lifestyle, I have been cutting down. And got to the point where dessert is a treat at the end of the week. To help with my sweet cravings, I made this beet and citrus salad. It has a combination of sweet and tangy, not just in the dressing, but also as the main salad ingredients.
