Chiogga Beet and Avocado Salad with Walnut
Jane Day Jane Day is co-author with Dr. John Day of "The Longevity Plan," documenting their journey to China's Longevity Village. "Preparing food for guests has always been a stressful thing - feeling inadequate and fearing that the dishes wouldn't turn out. Posting recipes has been an exercise in the ultimate confrontation of this fear. Gratefully, the joy in figuring out how to make favorite dishes with healthier ingredients now exceeds the fear and I take courage in the idea that maybe I can help someone else do the same." |
Chiogga Beet and Avocado Salad with Walnut
Ingredients
- Spinach

Instructions
- Layer all ingredients onto plate in order listed. For carrots and beets, you can use a traditional cheese grater. I topped this salad with my Tarragon Tahini Dressing.

The salad in today’s newsletter really sounds good. Where can you buy chiogga beets? I am a patient of Dr.Day and read the newsletter from top to bottom every week. I have received a lot of very good help from it for myself. Thanks for your help.
Hi Kay,
Whole Foods carries these beets, but if it’s easier, you could use any beets you’d like.
I hope you enjoy the salad!
