Number Of Ingredients 15

8 red baby beets (about 10 ounces)
8 yellow baby beets (about 10 ounces)
8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved diagonally
1 teaspoon fresh lemon thyme
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup pea shoots
Pea flowers, for garnish (optional)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced (1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon lemon thyme
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Make the salad: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap red beets in parchment, then in foil. Repeat with yellow beets. Bake until tender, 60 to 65 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel, and halve (or quarter larger beets). Place red and yellow beets in separate bowls.
  • Add peas to bowl with yellow beets. Sprinkle red and yellow beets with the thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Make the dressing: Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized, about 30 minutes. Stir in thyme and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a food processor, and puree. Add water, salt, pepper, and remaining 2 teaspoons oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Puree until smooth. (Dressing should be thick.)
  • Toss 1/2 of the dressing with the red beets and 1/2 with the yellow beet mixture. Combine beets, and gently toss with shoots. Garnish with pea flowers if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose tender and young baby beets: Look for beets with smooth, unblemished skin and vibrant color.
  • Trim the beets properly: Cut off the greens, leaving about 1 inch of stem attached to the beet. Use a sharp knife to trim the root end.
  • Roast the beets until tender: Toss the beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F for 30-40 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a mandoline slicer for thin and even slices: This will help ensure that the salad is evenly cooked and has a nice texture.
  • Blanch the sugar snap peas briefly: This will help them retain their vibrant color and crispness.
  • Use a flavorful vinaigrette: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and salt and pepper is a great option.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like mint, cilantro, or parsley add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
