get used to lots of recipes this summer with wee little yellow orbs from dave jr. because he is producing like a mofo. this was simply another combination of what i happened to have on hand.

ingredients:

• 1 medium fresh yellow beet, peeled and sliced into thin strips
• 12 yellow cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 1 cup red cabbage, sliced thin
• 1 large sprig fresh tarragon, leaves removed from stem, but not chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• olive oil (i used a little regular evoo, and some orange infused from adams’ olive ranch to give it a little more citrus flavor)
• balsamic vinegar
• paprika
• black pepper

after prepping the beet, tomato, cabbage and tarragon, toss them in a bowl with the lemon juice. add a touch of olive oil and a splash of balsamic until nicely coated but not drenched. you can be generous with the paprika, and add black pepper to your taste.

i’m sure one of these days i will use the fruits of dave jr. and actually cook them, but for now i am enjoying them raw, sweet and tangy.

note: this makes enough for about 4 side servings, and is only about 100 calories per serving.
