Cruchy beetroot peanut salad

I still remember, when I was  a kid my dad use to bring  beetroot more often and my mom use to prepare a Sabzi or  Salad of it.  I use to plan and get rid of it.  My Parents use to tell me the  benefits of eating beetroot,  but in vain to have it in my regular meals.  Now my hubby Sandeep admires to have beetroot as salad in his meal. Well now to keep him happy, I make this veggie Mr.Beetroot into something happy eating which  I had created into a salad .
