Fresh Spring Vegetables

By Molly Watson, About.com Guide

Beets are available for much of the year, but the first spring beets, with their fresh greens still attached by deep rosy stems, are more tender than their larger brethren that are harvested later in the year.

Spring beets can be eaten simply thinly sliced and drizzled with olive oil, turned into chips, grilled, or roasted and added to salads of all sorts. Find fabulous beet recipes for more delicious ideas.
