Description

Roasted beets are the stars of the show in this colorful and delicious salad.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 2 whole Red Beets
  • 2 whole Golden Beets
  • ¼ whole Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • ¼ cups Chopped Walnuts
  • ¼ cups Crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • ½ teaspoons Mustard
  • ¼ teaspoons Sugar
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Wrap the beets in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet and roast in a 400 F oven for approximately one hour. The beets are done when you can easily insert a knife through them. Return them to the oven for longer, if needed. When done, remove pan from oven, carefully open the aluminum foil (watch out for the steam) and allow them to cool. Peel and slice thinly using a mandoline.

Lay the beets on a platter and sprinkle on the red onion.

Make the dressing by whisking together all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and pour it over the beets and onions.

Top with the chopped walnuts and Gorgonzola. Makes approximately 2 servings depending on the size of your beets.

Lavenderlover – the mustard is prepared. Any kind you have in the house is fine.

The mustard: is that dry, or prepared?
