Beet and Citrus Salad with Spiced Yogurt Recipe
Food Recipes | Appetizers | Bowls | Salads
This Beet and Citrus Salad with Spiced Yogurt is the perfect dish for people that whine about wanting summer in the winter time, then whine about wanting winter in the summer time. It’s light enough for when you’re crying about the heat, and festive enough for when you’re crying about the cold at Christmas. But that’s only if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. Because it’s winter right now in Australia. Which means they’re sobbing for summer. Or maybe not. Maybe they’re just out punching kangaroos and living life without complaint. We should all try that. Especially punching kangaroos.
