Steps:
- To make the soup, place beets and broth in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Drain, reserving broth. When cool enough to handle, slip skins off beets. Set aside 2 beets. Place half of the remaining beets in a food processor. Measure broth and add enough water, if necessary, to make 9 cups.

Reheat before serving and stir in lemon juice and more salt, if needed.
- To make the beet greens, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beet greens and saute for 10 minutes. Add 1/3 cup of water, cover and cook until tender, about 10 minutes more. Coarsely grate the reserved beets and stir into the greens with 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Stir in the apple, walnut oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Place the cilantro, walnuts and 1/2 cup of olive oil in a food processor and process until smooth. Add3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice.

APPLE AND WALNUT TOSSED SALAD
I needed something light and easy to prepare to go with thanksgiving dinner and used what I had on hand. Instead of walnuts, you could use pine nuts for people with nut allergies. Or another kind of cheese if desired.

Steps:
- 1. Slice apples, dip in a solution of lemon juice or salt and water to prevent browning. Pat dry, set aside.
- 2. Toast walnuts for a few minutes in a skillet until starting to get fragrant, but before they burn. Set aside.
- 3. In a blender, or with an immersion blender, whisk together the dressing ingredients.
- 4. In a large bowl, toss the salad ingredients along with the dressing.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that will hold their shape when tossed in the salad. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Use a variety of greens: A mix of greens adds color, texture, and flavor to the salad. Try using a combination of romaine lettuce, arugula, and spinach.
- Make a simple vinaigrette: A simple vinaigrette is the perfect dressing for this salad. Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Add crumbled cheese: Crumbled cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor to the salad. Try using feta, goat cheese, or blue cheese.
Conclusion:
Apple and walnut salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with fresh apples, crunchy walnuts, and a variety of greens. The simple vinaigrette dressing adds a light and tangy flavor. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste.
