Russian Beet Salad (katzen)

What, then, is a “carnal’ Christian”? Is it biblical to divide believers into “spiritual men” and “carnal men”? There is, I think, a better way. It would be better to say that each believer is both spiritual and carnal. Even that, however, is not quite what the New Testament teaches. It is best to emphasize what the Bible emphasizes: Christians are habitually, or characteristically, spiritual men and women. If a man is not characteristically spiritual he is not a Christian at all. No amount of profession will make up for his ungodliness. But it is true of genuine believers, in a sense, that we are carnal. It is true, I mean, that we still sometimes sin. We are in constant need of God’s mercy. We are always candidates for God’s grace.

INSTRUCTIONS

Serves 4 to 5.  Trim the beets of their stems and greens, and place
them in a  medium-large (non reactive) saucepan. Cover them with water,
bring to  a boil, and cook until they are tender enough for a fork to
slide in  easily (about 25 minutes).  Meanwhile, combine the vinegar,
garlic, honey, and salt in a  medium-large bowl. Stir until
well-combined.  Rinse the cooked beets under cold running water as you
rub off their  skins. Chop them into l/2-inch bits, and while they are
still warm,  add them to the vinegar mixture. Let stand 30 minutes.
Add all remaining ingredients. Mix well, and chill until very cold.
Variations: Or roast beets, 350F, covered for about 45 minutes or
more. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Just the beets with
pickling juice, and diced jicama and/or firm tofu instead of the egg
white. Serve yogurt mixed with cucumbers on side. Just this with
mesclun.  >1995 :DIET FOR ALL SEASONS, by Elson M. Haas (MD) (Paperback
