BLACK RICE, BEET AND KALE SALAD WITH CIDER FLAX DRESSING
This delicious salad resulted from an effort to create a hearty vegetarian dish while at the same time offering a delicious gluten-free option. "The celebration is a very different affair in my house, but delicious, nonetheless," writes food-blogger Allison Day, who submitted this recipe. "Healthy food is a priority in my kitchen, but so is delicious food."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add beets to a sheet of parchment-lined foil. Crunch into a ball. Roast for 1 1/2 hours, until tender. Cool until comfortable to handle. Cut beets into bite-sized pieces or wedges. Add to a large bowl.
- In a medium pot, add rice and 1 1/3 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 40 to 45 minutes. Fluff with a fork and add to beets, along with kale and pecans.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients or shake in a jar. Add to salad. Toss to combine, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (overnight is best). Before serving, taste and adjusting seasoning if desired.
- This salad will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
