RED BEETS???
Only veggie I cannot stand. You can get pickled beets in cans too. Don't know which might taste better to you, I can't stand either. DAVE

I absolutely LOVE beets. Make sure you wear gloves when handling them because they bleed all over and will stain your hands.
I cut them in half and put in a bowl. Coat lightly with olive oil and season with some minced garlic, sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Put on a baking sheet and roast at 350* until fork tender. Remove from the oven and let them cool a bit. Carefully peel the skin off and dice. Put in a bowl and add some crumbled feta, some fresh torn spinach leaves. Drizzle with a little olive oil, sea salt, cracked black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon.

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMM! Have you tried baking them but peeling them with a potato peeler first. I juice them, but peel them first. Sometimes they hare too "earthy" tasting when juiced and peeling helps. Do you think your recipe will work as well if you peel them then bake them? I think I'm making that today. I think I will add fresh basil too. Thanks
Fresh basil would be a wonderful addition.
Personally, I like roasting with the skin on because there are nutrients in the skin that get absorbed into the "meat" of the beet as it roasts. Plus, I try to avoid peeling whenever I can. lol... but yes, you can peel first.
The thing I love about this salad is you can add whatever you want to it as the seasons change. Some roasted or blanched asparagus, shredded carrots, scallions... the list is limitless.
Enjoy!

I love them...eat them all the time. I juice them with carrots and apples...great liver detoxer. I also steam them and eat them raw in my salads, shredded. Preop I cooked them with vinegar and sugar in a pickled sweet/sour flavor, but I do not do that anymore. I don't dump, but I don't use sugar....as much as possible.
