Raw Beet Salad

This raw salad is very good for your liver as it promotes bile production.  If you feel your digestion is slow, raw beets can help to increase Agni (digestive fire).  If you have difficulty digesting raw food, you can steam the grated beets for 3 minutes. You can also add fennel or mint to aid digestion. This salad is especially beneficial if you have difficulty digesting fats.
