YELLOW BEET SALAD WITH MUSTARD SEED DRESSING
If you are beet-phobic because you fear the inevitable crimson stains, try golden yellow beets instead. Yellow beets, nearing orange on the color spectrum, are slightly milder than red ones. They make a beautiful assertive salad, dressed with horseradish, mustard and mustard seeds.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Put scrubbed beets in a small roasting pan with an inch of water in the bottom. Cover tightly and bake until beets are tender when probed with a paring knife or skewer, about 1 hour. Alternatively, cook beets on the stovetop in simmering salted water for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: Put shallot, lemon juice, rice vinegar, mustard and horseradish in a small bowl. Add good pinch of salt and pepper and stir to incorporate. Whisk in 3 tablespoons vegetable oil.
- Heat a very small skillet with 1 tablespoon oil. When oil is hot, add mustard seeds and nigella seeds. They will begin to pop after about 1 minute. Carefully scrape popped seeds and oil into the vinaigrette. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Let beets cool slightly, then use fingers or a kitchen towel to rub skin off beets. Slice beets crosswise into 1/4-inch rounds and place in a wide salad bowl.
- Sprinkle beet slices lightly with salt, then gently toss with the dressing. Grate a little more horseradish over the top. Serve at room temperature.

SALAD WITH BEETS AND YOGURT DRESSING
Greek yogurt is thicker, creamier, and higher in protein than regular yogurt, so it makes a deliciously creamy dressing with a tang that pairs nicely with beets.

Steps:
- Beets: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle medium beets with olive oil in a baking pan; season with salt. Place in a single layer and add 1 cup water. Cover with parchment, then foil, and roast until knife-tender, about 1 1/2 hours. When cool enough to handle, rub off peels with paper towels (use a paring knife for tough spots); discard. Cut beets into bite-size pieces.
- Dressing: Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a medium saute pan over low. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add honey and lavender; simmer until lavender is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Puree with yolk, vinegar, and mustard in a blender or food processor until smooth. With machine running, slowly add safflower oil until combined. (If dressing is too thick, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time.)
- Salad: Combine roasted beets, chard, and pecans in a bowl. Lightly toss with 1/4 cup dressing. Place 1 tablespoon dressing on bottom of each plate, then add salad mixture and goat cheese, dividing evenly. Top with baby beets and serve, with remaining dressing on the side.

Steps:
- Roast the beets: Put them in a baking dish in one layer (if some beets are larger, halve them so they will cook evenly). Add about 2 inches water to the pan and cover tightly with foil. Bake at 375 degrees for at least an hour, or up to one and a half hours, until fork tender. Remove the foil, pour off the liquid and let cool for a few minutes, then peel while still slightly warm. Cut into wedges and set aside.
- Cut beet greens into 1-inch ribbons, then wash well 3 times in abundant cold water to remove any sand or grit. Bring a large pot salted water to boil. Add the greens and cook briefly till wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain, cool under running water, then squeeze out excess water.
- In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the coriander and cumin seeds until fragrant and just lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Grind to a coarse powder in a mortar or spice mill.
- Make the vinaigrette: Put the onion, garlic and vinegar in a small bowl and leave for 5 minutes or so, then whisk in the remaining ingredients.
- Make the yogurt sauce: Put the yogurt in small bowl. Add the garlic, salt and pepper, cayenne, cumin-coriander mixture, mint and olive oil.
- Season the beet wedges lightly with salt and dress with half the vinaigrette. In a separate bowl, lightly salt the greens and dress with remaining vinaigrette. Arrange dressed beets and greens on a platter and top with a little smear of the yogurt sauce. Sprinkle with dill, and pass the rest of the yogurt sauce at the table.

Tips:
- Choose the best beets: Look for small to medium-sized beets with smooth skin and no blemishes.
- Roast the beets properly: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of beets. Roast them at a high temperature (425°F) for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The mustard seed dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Use a variety of greens: This salad is a great way to use up leftover greens. Arugula, spinach, and kale are all good choices.
- Add some crunch: Toasted walnuts, almonds, or pecans add a nice crunchy texture to the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The roasted beets will start to lose their color and flavor if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This yellow beet salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this vibrant vegetable. The roasted beets are sweet and earthy, while the mustard seed dressing is tangy and flavorful. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it is also a great side dish for grilled or roasted meats.
