Made with buttery avocado, silky beets and California "black bread", this sandwich recipe was assembled using ingredients by one of my favorite arugula salads.
And we can't forget about the beauty benefits of this sophisticated beet sandwich.
The juicy red roots are an excellent source of antioxidants, making them great at fighting free radicals and help prevent wrinkles and fine lines.
Avocados help fight the aging process from within when eaten. The fruit is filled with antioxidants that will help detoxify your body and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Skin tip: apply mashed avocado to your face while enjoying this delicious breakfast for added benefits. The healthy fats in avocado will moisturize your skin and reduce inflammation.
