I had defrosted some mystery meat from the freezer last night, which I found out happened to be beef! Yay. That one was easy since I can stir fry it with red bell pepper & celery. The problem was I had roasted three beets a few nights ago and I have no clue what pairs well with them. In the past, I'd just cube the beets and serve as is. But from past experience, eating that much beet somehow disturbs our digestive systems. Not in a bad way (i.e. diarrhea). Somehow it just feels different and our stool is a lot more solid and our urine becomes pinkish. Sorry, I'm sure that was more information than you cared for. But I am interested in why so if you happen to know, please do tell! Is it good or harmful?
So I was thinking about what to pair with the beets so it can be a substantial veggie dish. I happened to have some avocado and cucumber on hand so I decided to cut everything up in bite-size cubes. I didn't even bother tossing everything together since beets bleed magenta. Then I held my breath and did a taste test of one beet cube + one cucumber cube + one avocado cube. It actually tasted good! It sort of reminds me of avocado + honey (which I love). The crunch from the cucumber was a good contrast from the silky avocado & beet.
PHEW. Okay, dinner is served!
