Horseradish helps stimulate bile to maintain a healthy gallbladder, which is important for healthy digestion. Beets are rich in fiber, help detoxify the blood, and support the gallbladder.
Ingredients:
- 6 small beets
- 3 Tbs freshly grated horseradish
- 1 small onion, minced
- 3 Tbs olive oil
- 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbs minced parsley
Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Tightly wrap beets in foil lined with parchment paper and roast on a baking sheet until tender, about 1 – 1 ¼ hours. Vent the beets by opening the foil packages slightly. Allow to cool for 15 – 20 minutes.
2. When beets are cool enough to handle, peel and grate them into a medium sized bowl. Add the grated horseradish and onion.
3. Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together in a small bowl and pour over the beets; stirring to combine.
4. Stir in the fresh parsley and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
