Steps:
- Peel 4 medium beets and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste on a baking sheet.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH PICKLED ONIONS AND FETA
Steps:
- Combine the onion, vinegar, and a couple of pinches of salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- If using baby beets, leave the skin on but halve or quarter them as needed so that they're all about 1 inch thick. If using medium or large beets, peel and cut into 1-inch chunks.
- Fit a steamer basket in a large pot, add water just to the bottom of the basket, and arrange the beets in a snug single layer. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to maintain a vigorous simmer. Cook until the beets are completely tender when pierced with a skewer, about 30 minutes. (Keep an eye on the water level during cooking, and add more if it threatens to dry up.) Remove from the heat and let cool. If you're using baby beets, slip the skins off as soon as they're cool enough to handle.
- Reserving the liquid, remove the onion from the vinegar and add to the beets. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, mustard, honey, 1 tablespoon of the reserved vinegar, and a few big pinches of salt.
- Add the dressing, the parsley, and all but 2 tablespoons of the feta to the beets. Toss well and taste; season with more salt or vinegar as needed. Garnish with a sprinkling of the remaining feta on top.
- Note
- The beautiful hue of beets will stain your hands and clothes. Wear gloves and an apron if pink isn't your color!
- Tip
- Use any color beets you have available; if you choose to use both golden and red beets, toss them with the dressing separately to keep the red beets from staining the yellow ones.
ROASTED BEETS WITH FETA
This colorful and elegant side dish is so easy to make. I love making this with beets and shallots straight from our local farmers' market. Green onions or chives may be substituted for the shallot if you prefer.

Steps:

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk oil, vinegar and garlic in small bowl to blend. Season dressing generously with salt and pepper.
- Cut green tops off beets; reserve tops. Arrange beets in single layer in 13x9x2-inch baking dish; add 1 cup water. Cover; bake until beets are tender when pierced with knife, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Peel beets while warm. Cut beets in half and slice thinly. Transfer to large bowl. Mix in capers and 1/4 cup dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cut stems off beet greens; discard stems. Wash greens. Transfer greens, with some water still clinging to leaves, to large pot. Stir over high heat until just wilted but still bright green, about 4 minutes. Drain greens; squeeze out excess moisture. Cool; chop coarsely.
- Transfer greens to medium bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Arrange beets in center of platter. Surround with greens; sprinkle with feta. Drizzle with any remaining dressing.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, roast the beets until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Use a variety of olives in your salad for a more complex flavor.
- If you don't have feta cheese, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as goat cheese or blue cheese.
- Add a handful of chopped nuts or seeds to your salad for extra crunch and flavor.
- Drizzle your salad with a flavorful dressing, such as a vinaigrette or a balsamic glaze.
