Beet Up At Cartel Coffee Lab In Scottsdale

Yes, beet is spelled correctly: beet as in that beautiful dark burgundy root vegetable so dear to my Central European heart. I love beets so when the recently opened Cartel Coffee Lab got a new lunch menu which included a beet salad, I took a chance and had it.
Not really a chance. I've had many of their culinary choices in Downtown Phoenix which are excellent: Try the omelet or the Big Ben or even a simply yet awesome BLT.
Intermission: What's a salad review doing on the real estate website? What's a city without food? The better the food the better the city, the lifestyle and I bet it's good for real estate prices as well, just look at what La Grande Orange did for the 40th Street and Campbell area.
Greens, red onion, roasted beets, cherry tomatoes, julienned apples, blue cheese and candies walnuts with a dark balsamic dressing on the side. Simply ingredients in a tasty combination that's perfect, although I would limit the amount of dressing since it's really good and fresh without it. I you dump the whole container of dressing on the salad it's too much.
Cartel's menu is still small in Scottsdale, but what is there is delightful, delicious and dependable satisfying.
Oh, yeah: the coffee is awesome too.
