One serving of beet salad with walnuts (1 bowl) has about 95 mg of oxalate, 190% of the 50 mg a day many stone clinics aim for. Beets carries 93% of it.
If your doctor has put you on a low-oxalate diet, have it with something high in calcium, like milk, yogurt or cheese. Calcium in the same meal binds oxalate in the gut, so less of it reaches your urine.
