Beet and Apple Salad

Recipe From:  Ruthanne Hassing

Ingredients

Beets

Apples

Sugar

Lemon Juice

Raisins (opt)

Pine Nuts (opt)

Instructions

All you do is peel and shred the beets and do the same to an equal amount of apple.  Toss with a little sugar and lemon juice.  I added a few raisins and some pine nuts because the pine nuts looked nice against the red beets, but that isn't necessary.
