Description

Roasted beets are surprisingly sweet and delicious. Paired with a bright citrus dressing with a kick, this salad is wonderful any time of year. For a fun splash of color, try using a variety of fresh beets such as red, golden, and the curiously striped chioga.

Serves

Total Time

3+ hours

Ingredients

6 medium organic beets, scrubbed clean

4 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

3 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

1 teaspoon fresh organic grated ginger

1⁄2 teaspoon zest and 1 tablespoon juice from one small organic orange

1⁄2 teaspoon organic lemon zest

1⁄4 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Cayenne Pepper

1⁄4 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Cinnamon

Pinch of Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt

1 head of green leaf, romaine, or butter lettuce

Optional Toppings

Goat cheese or vegan cheese crumbles

toasted pine nuts

slivered almonds

extra lemon/orange zest

Directions

Preheat oven to 425° F. Place beets on a baking sheet and roast for about an hour, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Peel the beets once cool enough to handle; cut off tops and bottoms, then slice.
Whisk remaining ingredients (through salt) in a bowl, gently toss with the beets, and refrigerate for several hours. Serve over a bed of lettuce topped with goat cheese and nuts if desired.
