Beet Noodles with Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

Last week Manuela and I joined Latino Connections for their PODER Health and Wellness Expo Roadshow. During the cooking show, we used spiralized beets which were a hit!

Beets are a great source of fiber, folate, and Vitamin C. They help support digestion, the immune system, and heart health. If you don't have access to spiralized beets or a spiralizer, simply use washed, chopped beets with the skin on.
