Simple Beet Salad

I absolutely love beets! They are so good for you, and I just love that bright colour that turns all your food pink. Here's a little salad plate I put together today, especially good if your watching your carbs and weight in general. This is a great example on how to use your ingredients/produce in the most simple and purest form.
Ingredients:
1 grated or thinly shaved beet
1 avocado
1/4 of a cucumber thinly sliced
1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese
1 slice no-flour high grain bread
Extra virgin olive oil-as needed
sesame seeds- as needed
Balsamic-as needed
Salt & pepper-as needed
To make,
Toss grated beets in olive oil and balsamic with salt & pepper, toss cucumbers in olive oil with sesame seeds salt & pepper. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic if you wish over avocado with salt & pepper. Serve with cottage cheese and bread. Enjoy.
