    This morning I was cravings beets. Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds, but I really couldn't get the thought of them out of my head.

    So I decided to go with it.

    I have about a half hour between dropping the 13-Year-Old off at school and getting the 7-Year-Old on the bus. That gave me more than enough time to whip this up.

    The fennel added the perfect flavor and slight crunch to this "salad." Can I call it a salad? I'm not even sure. Regardless, it hit the spot and was surprisingly filling. This is why I keep things like canned beets in my pantry!

    Here's what I did...

    Yield 1 serving

    Craving beets? Try this quick Chicken and Beet salad idea that takes moments to pull together and uses just a few key pantry items. 

    Ingredients

    • 15oz can of cut beets drained
    • 3oz grilled chicken strips cut into bite-sized pieces
    • 1 tsp fennel seeds
    • 1 tsp dried parsley
    • ½ oz crumbled goat cheese
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    Toss the beets and chicken with the fennel, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Top with the goat cheese. Enjoy!

    Notes

    • You can, of course, use fresh roasted beets. I just like to keep cans of beets in the pantry when I crave them like this morning. 
    • If you don't have goat cheese feta would work too!
