Do you like BEETS?  I know they are supposed to be really good for you and well, I just cringed whenever someone posted a recipe about BEETS.  But then, the last time I went to Whole Foods, there they were, doing a little sampling of these little guys, and of course, I got sucked in. Yes, they still had that "dirt" taste, or as my boss said "taste of the earth" (whatever!) ... but with the sweet chili seasoning, they were way more tolerable than just plain ole beets ;-) Here's what you need to make this little side dish ...  Package of Love Beets (I liked the Sweet & Fire ones) 1/2 package of feta cheese crumbles (next time around will be goat cheese just for kicks) 1/2 to 3/4 cup of pistachios (shelled) Chop up the beets into smallish pieces. I figure the smaller the pieces, the better you can mix all 3 ingredients ...  Toss everything in a bowl and combine everything. Put a lid on the package and stick in the fridge for 30...

I cringed, and said, ok, let me try this because I really AM trying to eat healthier and try new things ... sometimes that leads to good, other times, well, not so much.
