Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 medium red beets, rinsed & stems removed
  • 1 orange, zested and juiced
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • ⅓ cup chèvre crumbles, optional as garnish

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Wrap beets tightly in aluminum foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet.  Bake for 1 hour or until a fork tenderly pierces into the beets.  Be careful unwrapping the aluminum to avoid a steam burn.
  • Cool beets enough to handle, peel, and dice (see notes below).
  • To make the vinaigrette: Zest the orange and set zest aside.  Add orange juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a small jar and shake it like you mean it!
  • Toss beets in desired amount of dressing.  Add salt to taste.  Add orange zest garnish.  Add goat cheese (chèvre) if you got it and like it.  Happy eating!  Beckie
