  • Made this recipe by exact instructions and thought it was really great and refreshing. May add another apple next time. Made with barbecue wings and spicy sweet potato fries.

  • Suggestions for a replacement for the beets? They just don't go over well in my house.

  • This was really good, but the picture of the shreds of vegetables look much nicer than mine. How is that done? I used a box grater

  • Second review: I've converted several kale/beet haters into lovers with this recipe,, including me. Be sure you're using THICK yogurt--otherwise the dressing seems to disappear in the grated vegs. The 3rd time I made this with the same (TJ's European) yogurt, I strained it overnight loosing about 1/6 volume in water--much, much better. I didn't have caraway seeds so used 3 Tbsp poppy seeds with good results.

  • Loved it! Very sunshiney and fresh! Would be good with golden raisins added. Probably only need about 1/2 of the dressing.
