Hello Spring! The days are getting longer, YAY! The sun is shining brighter, and my tastebuds are officially craving all things fresh and vibrant. With the leisurely arrival of warmer weather, my taste buds shifted from hearty stews to crisp, cool salads. And that’s precisely what happened today. I found myself longing for a refreshing bite, but the question was: what kind of salad? A quick raid of the fridge, freezer, and pantry revealed the perfect combination: earthy beets, crisp English cucumber, sweet frozen peas, all brought together by a creamy, dreamy cream cheese dill dressing. The result? A Warm Weather Beet Salad that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
