Steps:
- Make the salad: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap red beets in parchment, then in foil. Repeat with yellow beets. Bake until tender, 60 to 65 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel, and halve (or quarter larger beets). Place red and yellow beets in separate bowls.
- Add peas to bowl with yellow beets. Sprinkle red and yellow beets with the thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Make the dressing: Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized, about 30 minutes. Stir in thyme and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a food processor, and puree. Add water, salt, pepper, and remaining 2 teaspoons oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Puree until smooth. (Dressing should be thick.)
- Toss 1/2 of the dressing with the red beets and 1/2 with the yellow beet mixture. Combine beets, and gently toss with shoots. Garnish with pea flowers if desired, and serve immediately.

SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD
In this unusual summer salad, funky, creamy Camembert and crisp, juicy sugar snap peas unite make a texturally complex and very flavorful dish. You can use any washed rind cheese here as long as it's ripe enough to be spread on a plate. If you can't find a gooey-centered cheese, you can substitute a creamy goat cheese instead. Pea shoots make an ideal garnish, echoing the flavor of the sugar snaps, but if you can't get them, use any baby green or micro green in its place. If you want to work ahead, you can blanch the peas and mix up the dressing several hours ahead. But don't combine the salad ingredients until just before serving. In this dish, freshness is key.

Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for small, tender baby beets with smooth skin and vibrant color. Avoid beets that are soft, bruised, or have blemishes.
- Roast the beets: Roasting intensifies the sweetness of the beets and brings out their earthy flavor. Toss the beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Use a variety of greens: This salad is a great way to use up leftover greens. Arugula, spinach, kale, and mixed greens all work well. You can also add some herbs, such as mint, basil, or cilantro, for extra flavor.
- Make a tangy dressing: The dressing for this salad is a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey. You can also add some citrus zest or juice for a brighter flavor.
- Top with nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds add crunch and texture to the salad. Try adding walnuts, almonds, pecans, or pumpkin seeds. You can also toast the nuts and seeds for a richer flavor.
Conclusion:
This baby beet salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this baby beet salad a try!
