roasted beet salad

Unfortunately I'm unhappy with all the photos, so most of them are not being used.

The ingredients:



beets, shallot, slivered almonds, blue cheese (on special), balsamic vinegar, grapeseed oil and lettuce

I started by preheating my oven to 400 degrees and wrapped the beets in tinfoil. I baked them for approximately 70 minutes, but bake until a fork can easily be inserted.

While the beets were roasting, I washed my lettuce, diced the shallot, crumbled the blue cheese and whisked the grapeseed oil and balsamic vinegar.





Once the beets were cooked and cooled, I unwrapped from the tinfoil and under running water, peeled the skin from the beet and sliced.

Basically the salad is simple to put together. Bite sized pieces of lettuce, of your choice, sliced beets, diced onion, crumbled blue cheese, some sliced almonds, a little salt and some cracked pepper and then the balsamic and oil mixture. Delicious. I ate it for dinner and made a second for my breakfast.
