Red. Daring. Slightly immoral. It’s the …Scarlet Lady! I had red chard in my fridge just begging to be used so I went for it and used it a theme. Today was all about being red, red red.
The result: While I didn’t turn suddenly scandalous (more’s the pity), I did enjoy the sweeter side of the beet and carrot. And the color was simply fabulous.
Note to self: do not wear white while drinking this juice.
