Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wrap beets in parchment, then foil, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 60 minutes. Let cool completely. Peel and cut beets into 1/2-inch dice. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Prepare an ice-water bath. Cook haricots verts in boiling salted water until bright green and crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath, and drain. Cut beans diagonally into thirds, and add to beets.
- Mix vinegar, shallot, and mustard in a small bowl. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Toss with vegetables, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in torn basil and goat cheese. Garnish with basil leaves.
GOLDEN BEET SALAD WITH CIDER VINEGAR DRESSING
This colorful golden beet salad is certain to win over even the staunchest beet skeptic. It comes from Sara Forte, a self-taught vegetarian chef who writes the Sprouted Kitchen blog. This beet salad was born of necessity when Ms. Forte's C.S.A. basket began overflowing with beets. "In California, beets are pretty easy to grow year-round, so I have them all the time," she said. "I've gotten kind of tired of roasting a big pan of vegetables, so I've been trying to find a different way to reinvent them."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Rinse the beets and cut off the greens, saving them for another use. Rub the beets with the olive oil, wrap in foil and place on a baking sheet (in case they leak). Bake until you can pierce through the middle of each beet with a knife, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- While the beets are cooking, gently bring the vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is reduced by a third. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- When the beets are cool, use a paring knife to remove the skins, which should peel off easily. Cut each beet into thin slices using a sharp knife. Sprinkle them with salt and toss them in the reduced vinegar.
- Toss the mâche with the walnut oil and a few grinds of pepper. Top the mâche with the beets, walnut pieces and cheese. Use a spoon to drizzle the remaining vinegar on top, as desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the beets in a roasting pan and add water to a depth of 1/2 inch. Cover the pan with foil and bake until the beets are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 1/2 hours. Set the beets aside until they are cool enough to handle. Peel and rinse off any pieces of skin. Slice the beets into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, and then cut them into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. Let the beets cool to room temperature.
- Toss the beets with the rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add the olive oil and mustard and toss with the spinach. Garnish with the toasted walnuts and crumbled blue cheese.
- Make Ahead: You can roast the beets up to 3 days in advance; toss them just before serving.
ROASTED BEET AND GINGER SALAD
I love to use the first batch of beets in spring for this salad. The mint is the perfect compliment to the apple cider and balsamic vinegars in the dressing.

Steps:
- Cook the beets: Using a pot large enough to hold all of the beets, fill it 3/4 of the way with cold water and add the beets. Season the water generously with salt. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over low heat. When the beets are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, drain the water and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes. Peel them by "wiping" the skin off with a kitchen towel. Trim the tough parts of the tops and bottoms with a small knife and cut each beet into "sections" like pieces of an orange.
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and sea salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the beets. Put the bowl in the refrigerator and allow the beets to marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- When ready to serve, add the olive oil, ginger and parsley leaves. Toss to coat the beets. Use a scissors to "snip" the mint leaves over the salad and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cover beets generously with water in a heavy medium saucepan and simmer until tender when pierced in center with a knife, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool to warm, then slip off skins. Cut beets into 1/4-inch slices.
- Meanwhile, whisk together vinegar, onion, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking, then add warm beets and parsley and toss. Season with additional sugar and salt. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Using a mandoline slicer can help you get evenly sliced beets, which will ensure they cook evenly.
- Be sure to peel the beets before cooking them, as the skin can be tough and bitter.
- If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as white vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
- You can add other ingredients to the salad, such as crumbled goat cheese, chopped walnuts, or dried cranberries.
- The salad can be served immediately or chilled for later.

This golden beet salad with cider vinegar dressing is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. The beets are roasted until tender and caramelized, and the cider vinegar dressing adds a bright and tangy flavor.
