Beet salad

Beet salad

Ingredients

  • 4 beets, trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached

  • 1/4 cup minced shallot

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  • Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place onto a baking sheet.
  • Roast beets in preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let beets cool until easy to handle; peel and slice into 1/4-inch slices.
  • For easier peeling, rub skins off with a paper towel once the beets have cooled slightly.
  • While beets are roasting, whisk shallots, parsley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and red wine vinegar together in a bowl until blended; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Place warm, sliced beets onto a serving dish; pour vinaigrette over the beets.
