Beetroot Orange and Mint Juice

My aunt makes beetroot juice all the time, serves it at room temperature in a bowl more like beetroot water with thin slices of beetroot swimming in it that are supposed to be picked up with a fork while you drink the water with a spoon. She calls it a salad and throws in sliced cucumber as well. 

I have often debated with her why it isn't really a salad but also failed to come up with an alternative name for it. 

Peach Lassi Granita

Call me lazy but given a choice between eating fresh summer fruits to baking with them, I'm leaping on fresh fruits. From apricots, peaches, cherries, mangoes, watermelon and sometimes the exotic rambutan, every meal is followed by a bowlful of summer fruits.
