Peberrod Beetroot Salad
So why the name Peberrod Beetroot Salad? Peberrod, pronounced “pyoor-rood”, is the Danish word for horseradish. I named this salad in honor of a lovely woman who hailed from Denmark; she introduced me to the amazing combination of beetroot and horseradish in the late 80’s, and I continue to use this combination to this day. Thank you Julle! Our simple recipe takes only 10 minutes to make and is guaranteed to brighten your plate.
Berry Green Smoothie
What is purple and green and spins round and round? A Berry Green Smoothie, of course! Smoothies date back to the 1930's with the invention of the blender; early recipes for fruit smoothies can be found in Waring "Blendor" cookbooks of the 1940's. However, it is commonly Steve Kuhnau who is credited with making smoothies popular in the 1960's in Southern California and can now be found everywhere, but beware, commercial smoothies can often be loaded with added sugar. Blending your own is the best way to customize the nutritional profile and limit added sugars. Have fun and remember, vegetables and fruit make the perfect blend.
Pickled Rainbow Radishes
Celebrating two winter beauties, our recipe for Pickled Rainbow Radishes combines purple daikon and watermelon radish in a vibrant display of color. Richly purple and shockingly pink, purple daikon and watermelon are two varieties of winter radish that are so beautiful on the inside. The mild pepper flavor and crisp crunch of the radish is the perfect complement to our white miso brine. Tangy, sweet and savory, Pickled Rainbow Radishes have it all!
