Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size, with smooth skin and no blemishes. Fresh, organic beets are always the best choice.
- Roast the beets: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of beets and intensifies their flavor. You can roast beets whole, wrapped in foil, or cut into wedges and tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Use a variety of greens: This salad is a great way to use up leftover greens. Arugula, spinach, kale, and chard are all great options.
- Add some crunch: Nuts, seeds, and crumbled cheese add texture and flavor to this salad. Try walnuts, pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds, or feta cheese.
- Make a simple dressing: A simple vinaigrette or citrus dressing is all you need to dress this salad. Use a combination of olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, and salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. The roasted beets will start to lose their color and flavor if they sit for too long.
