Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roast the beets by drizzling them with a bit of olive oil, some salt and pepper, and wrapping them in foil.
- Depending on the size and freshness of your beets, they should take from 40 minutes to 1 hour to roast in the oven.
- Check occasionally, when they are fork-tender they are done.
- Set them aside to cool.
- As soon as they’re cool enough to touch, run them under the faucet and slide off the skins with your hands.
- Chop into roughly ½ inch cubes and set them aside to cool completely.
- (To save time, I suggest doing this up to one day ahead of time and popping them in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the salad).
- Assemble all salad ingredients on a platter.
- Drizzle with a liberal amount of walnut oil, a bit of balsamic vinegar, a little honey, and some salt and pepper.
