Beet and Tomato Salad with Mint image

For this late-summer side dish, beets can be roasted, refrigerated overnight, and then combined at the last minute with heirloom tomatoes, extra-virgin olive oil, coarse salt, lemon juice, and a handful of fragrant mint leaves.

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 red beets, trimmed, halved lengthwise
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
4 to 6 ripe tomatoes (about 2 pounds), preferably heirloom, cut into wedges
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup small mint leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place beets, cut sides up, on parchment-lined foil on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Fold foil over beets to enclose, and crimp edges to seal. Bake until tender, about 35 minutes. Let cool. Peel, and cut into wedges. (Beets can be refrigerated in an airtight container overnight.)
  • Arrange beets and tomatoes on a serving platter. Drizzle with oil and lemon juice, and season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Scatter mint over top, and serve.

I made a few changes to the recipe and it was still delicious! I used roasted beets instead of boiled beets and I added some chopped walnuts.
