For this low carb salad recipe, it’s easy and just as good to use packaged, air sealed beets that are widely available in most larger supermarkets these days.

Beets have a lovely ability to be both sweet and low calorie. Many recipes include sugar to balance the vinegar in the dish. In Provence, we take a different turn. Salty Mediterranean olives are added to balance the sweetness instead along with ginger and mint.

This recipe uses apple cider vinegar which is also sweeter than most other ones. The best advice I can give is to TASTE those cooked beets first and then decide if a little sweetener is needed.
