Betty Crocker Beet Sandwiches

Beets are having a moment. There’s no doubt that they’re a nutritional powerhouse, offering a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, as well as promoting digestive health. What you may not know is how delicious they are too.

When used as a raw filling for a sandwich, beets provide a unique and versatile option. Their natural sweetness, earthy flavor, and visually appealing color is sure to turn any sandwich into a memorable meal.

Whether grated or thinly sliced with a mandoline, raw beets are easy to prepare, making them the perfect sandwich-filling choice when lunch has to be quick and easy. Our beet sandwich makes the most of the raw beet crunch factor by laying on a thick layer of grated beets in between two slices of multigrain bread. In addition, we add slices of nutty Gruyère cheese (although Swiss cheese works well too!) along with creamy avocado and peppery arugula.

Then we pull the whole sandwich together with a vibrant garlic mayonnaise, which adds moisture and an irresistible garlickiness that brings balance to the sweetness of the beets. The result is a unique culinary experience packed full of tastes, textures, and colors. You won’t miss meat in this fun and flavorful beet sandwich.
