Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil. Roast about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until fork tender. Remove beets from oven, unwrap and let cool 5 minutes before peeling. Slice the beets into eighths.
- Remove the peel of the grapefruit with a sharp knife, cutting all the way down to the grapefruit flesh. Then cut the individual grapefruit segments out from their skin, using the supreme technique. Place the grapefruit segments in a bowl. Take the inner grapefruit remains and squeeze whatever juice you can out of it over the top of the grapefruit segments in the bowl.
- Make the dressing by mixing together all the dressing ingredients along with all the juice that you can strain from the bowl of grapefruit.
- Assemble the salad: Make a little heap of alfalfa in the middle of the plate. Scatter the cut beets around the plate. Pinch off pieces of the grapefruit segments and scatter them around the plate. Drizzle generously with dressing, top with a couple more grinds black pepper and serve.

Tips:
- To ensure perfectly tender beets, pierce them with a fork before roasting. This allows steam to escape and prevents them from becoming tough.
- For a more intense flavor, roast the beets at a higher temperature for a shorter amount of time. This will caramelize the natural sugars in the beets and create a slightly crispy exterior.
- Beets can be roasted whole or cut into smaller pieces. If you cut them into pieces, be sure to toss them with oil and vinegar before roasting to prevent them from drying out.
- For a vibrant and flavorful salsa verde, use a variety of fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and basil. You can also add other ingredients to the salsa, such as capers, olives, or nuts.
- To make a simple vinaigrette, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. You can also add other ingredients to the vinaigrette, such as honey, mustard, or herbs.
Conclusion:
These roasted beets with salsa verde are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. The beets are tender and flavorful, while the salsa verde adds a bright and herbaceous flavor. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
