Woolworths is now selling fresh julienned beetroot in small bags in the fresh vegetable fridge.
Beets are one of those maligned vegetables, hated by many due to their association with the bottled pickled variety. But fresh beetroot sliced thinly makes a crunchy, sweet and colourful addition to any salad.

Look at those pistachios! This is gorgeous, yum. x
I love beets. :) Of course I was introduced to them as a curry. :) This salad looks so healthy and tasty. I love that your grocery store is called Woolworths. Is it in any association to the Woolworths that used to be in the USA?
This salad looks FABULOUS, Juanita! I can hardly wait to try it!

Cool! Not many people do.
I don't think I've ever had beets in curry before, but definitely as a topping on curry.
I'm not sure about it's US association, but I know that it is comparable to the Marks and Spencer stores you get in the UK and some parts of Europe.
