If you’ve never had beets then you need to be aware of the nutrients you are missing out on! Made up of 88% water, this vegetable is loaded with essential nutrients such as fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C.

As balanced as this recipe is, it also had a sweet side to it as well, but don’t worry, we used a small amount of pickled beets. The 1/2 apple in this recipe blended very well, bringing in more sweet flavors. Dress up your traditional egg salad with pickled beets for your week’s meal prep, outdoor cookouts, or even as a desk lunch. Bariatric meal prep can be daunting some times, but with a recipe like this, you won’t feel like you are missing out.
