My new favorite salad. For those of you who are afraid of beets (like I was until just recently!) this is the salad for you to experiment with....

So, so, so darn good. *Original recipe adapted from a recipe found on recipegirl. AND....**Cooking time includes time to roast and cool beets.

Steps:
- In a bowl mix shallots, oil, vinegar and two tablespoons of herbs if using. Add salt and pepper to taste. Boil beets until cooked. Peel skin off with potato peeler. Cut ends off and slice. Cut avocado in half. Remove pit. Cut into thin slices. Assemble by placing a beet slice first, then covering it with a layer of avocado, and placing another beet slice on top. You can do several layers. Drizzle vinagrette and garnish with herb chiffonade.
Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor and texture, choose ripe and firm beets. Look for beets that are smooth, deep-colored, and free of blemishes.
- Roasting the beets intensifies their natural sweetness and enhances their flavor. You can roast the beets whole or cut them into wedges. Drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and roast them at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes, or until tender.
- Allow the roasted beets to cool completely before handling them. This will prevent them from breaking apart.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the beets into even-sized pieces. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
- If you don't have time to roast the beets, you can use pre-cooked beets. Just be sure to drain them well and pat them dry before using them.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your salad, such as crumbled feta cheese, chopped walnuts, or sliced almonds. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to taste.
