Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 large beets, trimmed
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
4 red onions, each cut into 6 wedges
2 1/2 pounds slender green beans, trimmed, cut into 3-inch lengths
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets tightly in foil. Place directly on oven rack. Roast until tender when pierced with knife, about 1 hour. Cool beets. Peel and quarter beets. Transfer to large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons thyme, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
  • Spray 2 large rimmed baking sheets with nonstick spray. Divide onion wedges between prepared baking sheets. Brush onions on both sides with 2 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with 4 teaspoons thyme, salt, and pepper. Arrange onions cut side down and roast until golden brown on bottom, about 10 minutes. Turn onions over. Roast until golden brown and tender, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer to another large bowl.
  • Divide green beans between same baking sheets. Drizzle beans with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup water, and 2 teaspoons thyme. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover tightly with foil and roast until almost crisp-tender, about 14 minutes. Uncover and continue to roast until water evaporates and beans are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with onions. (Beets, onions, and green beans can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  • Drizzle onions and green beans with balsamic vinegar; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with beets and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender vegetables. This will ensure that your salad is crisp and flavorful.
  • Wash the vegetables thoroughly before using them. This will remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a bit of a crunch.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the delicate flavors of the vegetables.
  • Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Green bean, spinach, and beet salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The salad is also low in calories and fat, making it a great choice for those who are watching their weight. With its bright colors and refreshing flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
