Beet and Greens Salad w/ Avocado Dressing Recipe

Notes:
The color of this salad is WONDERFUL!

This is a bit of a tease, but I want to share a bit of this recipe.  This I came up with when I bought the most beautiful beets, with greens still attached.  I had to use the root and greens when they looked this good.  BUT, the dressing is a bit of a tease.  I want to put it in my cookbook someday so I will just give a general guideline for the recipe.  This is the best dressing ever!  But I think it has everything to do with the healthy silky avocado.  Never again will I be worried about the fat content of the avocado.  I just enjoy!  Be smart with the rest of the day and enjoy

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
1 c. chopped and ever so slightly steamed beet greens (a flash steam really - less then a minute)
1 med. thinly sliced raw beets (new and sweet are the best!)
avocado
something sweet
something sour
some kind of herb
salt and pepper if you desire
something spicy if you like

Directions:
Steam beet greens lightly
Slice beet and place on top of the greens

In blender mix a scooped out avocado with a about 3/4 c of water (start with 1/2 if you have a small avocado) and add the rest of your fave ingredients from the above suggestions.

Be generous with the dressing on the salad, but there will be left overs and if you use lemon as the sour, it is pretty good for a couple days. My dressing lasted one day. Might be best to share it with someone else. Or it could be the treat of the day.
