Number Of Ingredients 7

16 baby red or golden beets (about 3 pounds), greens trimmed and reserved
20 fingerling potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Coarse salt, to taste
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
5 ounces mild blue cheese (preferably Danish blue), crumbled
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add beets, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, and let cool. Peel and quarter beets.
  • Meanwhile, put potatoes into another pan, and cover with water by about 1 inch. Add salt, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and let cool. Halve lengthwise.
  • Coarsely chop beet greens (you will need about 4 cups). Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beet greens, and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer greens to paper towels to drain.
  • Toss together beets, potatoes, beet greens, blue cheese, pepper, and remaining oil. Serve immediately.

I found the beets to be a bit too hard, even after cooking them for the recommended time.

The dressing for this salad is a bit too tangy for my taste.

I've made this salad with both red and golden beets. Both are delicious, but I think I prefer the red beets.

This beet and potato salad was a hit at our summer potluck! The combination of sweet beets and tangy dressing was perfect, and the addition of fresh dill gave it a nice pop of flavor.
