When I first started writing about food, it was always my intention to highlight ingredients, how to shop, compare prices, choose them, store them as well as use them. And I did make a stab at that, years ago, under “Ingredients” in my menu. So the first post in this series is What To Know About Beets.

Irish Pub Salad
Irish Pub Salad is just chock full of all of my favorite things! It’s as if you took all the best things from one of those salad bars from the ’90s, except everything is updated and fresh. Then you top it with a marvelous, creamy dressing. I mean, just look – there are hard-boiled eggs and pickled beets in this salad. And tomatoes, red onion, radishes (and other veggies if you’d like), and don’t forget the sprinkling of bleu cheese!
