Don’t throw away your beet greens! Beet greens are slightly sweet, and among the most tender, soft and nutritious of all the greens. Sauté them in butter with a handful of pine nuts for a truly delicious side! Substitution: Substitute salmon for other thick, hearty fillets of fish like halibut or haddock.
