Kohl started talking about adding nuts, I would like to note this amazing product. Doctors recommend pecan nuts to be included in your diet more often. they contain a complete vitamin complex and trace elements that the body needs. Nuts contain polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as a deficient substance - iodine, the lack of which is fraught with unpleasant consequences. Therefore, salads with beets and pecans are especially useful for people with a lack of such a trace element as iodine. For dressing, you can use any sauces, because traditional mayonnaise is not an axiom. Try making savory salad dressings and the dish will unfold in a new way. Honey, sour cream, lemon, fruit juice, all kinds of oils - an opportunity to go beyond the usual taste of a salad.

In addition, beets can be baked in the oven in foil. This method will help preserve the maximum amount of nutrients in the vegetable.
