Beet and Walnut Tacos with Carrot-Miso Salsa
Serves 4
These tacos not only pack a flavor punch, but are also composed of plant-based powerhouse nutritional stars. Carrot tops add a fresh, herb-like taste to enhance the carrot flavor in the miso salsa. But be careful: Don’t use the tops if they’re very large, as they will be bitter.15
