StaggerLee Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Here's a beet salad I make often. It can be served warm or cold.Toss 3 cups of diced beets in 2-3 tbsp of olive oil and roast at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.Mix together:1 minced shallotjuice and zest of half a lemon1 tbsp olive oil1 tbsp chopped dill1/2 tsp saltToss the roasted beets in the dressing and let marinate an hour before serving.I usually serve it with trout or salmon and a simple risotto.

bouche Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I like roasted sweet potato in salads. Beets will be great too. And toasted pumpkin seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagochips Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 All the above suggestions are great. Feeling lazy? Just shred them and eat raw. Delicious.Also, try the yellow variety for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_rawk Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I love the suggestion for umeboshi vinegar .. yum.I usually do them pretty straight up - boiled or steamed and slathered in butter, salt and pepper. The best part of the beet is the beet greens, IMO. Double yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
