Fruit Beet Kale Salad

I had beets for couple days and needed to get them used. Crunchy! I didn't realize is that they could have benefited from some steaming or microwaving before putting them in a salad. Now I know!

Layer from the bottom up with:

1.25 cups of Kale, ripped up to bite size pieces

2 small beets, peeled and cut up

3/4 of a pear, cored and cut up

1 apricot, cut up (this fruit was a bit bigger than usual)

25 red grapes

1/4 cup of corn kernals

Mix for dressing:

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

2 tsp Gulden's Spicy Brown mustard

2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing (Safeway Select)

Sprinkle around the salad and serve.

Rated a 3.79 on the Kale Scale (because of the uncooked nature of the beets)
