Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium beets (about 1 pound total), scrubbed
2 teaspoons plus 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small shallot, minced
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 medium beefsteak tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place beets on a large piece of foil on a baking sheet. Top with 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold foil around beets and crimp ends to form a packet. Roast beets on sheet until tender when pierced with a knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove beets from foil and let cool, then peel and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 3 teaspoons oil, shallot, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. On a large platter, arrange beets and tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with fresh oregano leaves.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets in the fridge and this salad was the perfect way to use them up.

This beet and tomato salad was a delightful burst of flavor! The sweetness of the beets and the tanginess of the tomatoes were perfectly balanced. I added a bit of crumbled goat cheese for an extra creamy touch. Definitely a keeper!
