Steps:
- Make vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, walnut oil, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove leafy greens from tops of beets; trim stems, and discard. Rinse greens thoroughly, and refrigerate. Pare away tough skin at top of beets. With a firm-bristle vegetable brush or the back of a paring knife, scrub beets clean under cold running water. Place beets in a small roasting pan. Add remaining tablespoon olive oil and the thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Add enough water to just cover the bottom, and cover tightly. Place in oven, and cook 20 minutes, remove lid, and continue cooking until beets are tender to the tip of a sharp knife, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Slice scallions in quarters lengthwise. In a large saute pan over medium-low heat, melt butter; add scallions, and saute, 5 to 7 minutes. Raise heat to medium high, and continue cooking until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer scallions to a bowl, and set aside.
- Remove beet greens from refrigerator. Using the same pan as for the scallions, saute greens over medium-high heat until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer immediately to serving plate. Place scallions over greens. Trim "tails" from beets, and slice larger beets in half. Arrange beets over wilted greens with scallions. Drizzle vinaigrette over beets and greens. Sprinkle with blue cheese. Serve immediately.

BEET AND TOMATO SALAD WITH SCALLIONS AND DILL
A little bistro in Normandy, France, inspired this salad that's so satisfying in its simplicity. Bright and fresh, the beets and tomatoes are dressed in a tart vinaigrette and served side by side, rather than mixed together. Though the combination may seem unusual, it's delicious. For the best flavor, choose ripe tomatoes and cook your own beets (don't be tempted to use the precooked vacuum packed type). Feel free to cook the beets and day or two in advance.

Steps:
- Cook the beets: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub beets, and place in 2 baking dishes just large enough to hold them - golden beets in one, red in the other to keep colors from bleeding. Add an inch or so of water. Cover and bake until tender when probed with a skewer, about 1 hour. Set aside to cool. (Alternatively, boil or steam beets instead. Beets may be cooked several hours or up to 2 days in advance.)
- Prepare the vinaigrette: Put vinegar and pinch of salt in a small bowl. Add mustard and stir with a fork to dissolve. Beat in olive oil to make the dressing thicken slightly. Add pepper to taste, plus a bit more salt, if necessary.
- When the beets are cool enough to handle, rub off the skins. Cut golden beets in half lengthwise, then into 6 to 8 wedges, depending on the beet's size. Repeat with red beets. Place in separate bowls, and season with salt. Slice tomatoes 1/2-inch thick, place in a separate bowl and season with salt.
- Whisk vinaigrette, and pour over beets and tomatoes, dividing it evenly among the bowls. Toss gently and marinate for 10 minutes.
- To serve, spoon the golden beets, red beets and tomatoes into distinct piles onto a large platter or serve in separate bowls. Top with scallions, and sprinkle with dill. Garnish with arugula or watercress, if using.
Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Baby beets are best for this recipe, as they are tender and have a sweet flavor. If you can't find baby beets, you can use regular beets, but you will need to peel and cube them before roasting.
- Roast the beets properly: Roasting the beets brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to toss the beets with olive oil and salt before roasting, and roast them at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Use fresh scallions: Fresh scallions add a bright, pungent flavor to the dish. Be sure to trim the scallions before using, and slice them thinly.
- Add some herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or basil, can add a pop of flavor to the dish. Stir them in just before serving.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the beets are still warm. However, you can also make it ahead of time and reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
This simple yet flavorful recipe is a great way to enjoy baby beets. The roasted beets are tender and sweet, and the scallions and herbs add a bright, pungent flavor. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or as a side dish for a special occasion.
