Happy Valentine’s Day!!

Or if you’re single this year… BOOOO to Valentine’s Day! *wink*

I’ve spent the last two weeks posting all sorts of sweet goodies for you to share with your Valentine(s).

So today I thought I’d focus in on something quick and healthy you can make tonight whether you are cooking for your love muffin or for yourself.

This Strawberry Beet Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette couldn’t be easier, or more appealing. I shaved raw Brussels sprouts into a thin crunchy base, then piled it with sweet roasted red beets and fresh sliced strawberries.

Who knew raw Brussels sprouts could be so tasty in a salad!?

Then I whisked up a rich and tangy balsamic vinaigrette made with pomegranate juice, for a little red, on red, on red action.

The pomegranate juice does wonders for this balsamic vinaigrette, giving it a little pop of fruity essence!

Strawberry Beet Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette is a perfect accompaniment to any main course you plan to serve tonight, be it Lobster Fra Diavolo or Flank Steak Medallions.

You can plate the beet salad in individual bowls drizzled with pom balsamic vinaigrette, for a touch of fancy

Or go family style, mixing it all in the bowl of shaved brussels sprouts, tossing it with the balsamic vinaigrette.
