Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place all the large beets on a sheet tray and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a fork slides in and out of the beets easily. Add the baby beets to the tray for the last 20 minutes of cooking time. When the beets have cooled, peel them. Slice the large beets into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut the baby beets in half.
- Place the arugula in a bowl and drizzle in about half of the vinegar and olive oil and season generously with salt. Toss the salad gently to incorporate all of the ingredients. TASTE IT! It should taste very flavorful but not soggy. Arrange the arugula on 4 individual salad plates. Toss all of the beets together in the salad bowl and add the remaining oil, vinegar and salt, and toss. Arrange the dressed beets on the arugula and top with the pistachios and shaved pecorino.
- Voila!
ROASTED BEET, PEAR AND FETA SALAD
I cut this salad recipe out of a weekly local newspaper the other day and haven't had the chance to test it. I would like to try golden beets for the red beets. If you cannot find mache (lamb's lettuce), substitute butter lettuce or fresh mixed greens. Serve with crusty French bread!

ROASTED BEET, PEACH AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD
This salad is a bit of work, but it's so delicious and always impresses guests. Mache can be hard to find, so you may omit it and just use arugula, but it adds a great nutty flavor if you can find it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Wrap each beet in two layers of aluminum foil, and place onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the beets are tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Allow the beets to cool slightly, then remove the skins. Let the beets cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until cold. Once cooled, thinly slice the beets.
- Place the mache and arugula into a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced beets and peaches; sprinkle with the shallots, pistachios, and goat cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together the walnut oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until emulsified, and pour over the salad mixture. Toss well, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller beets tend to be more tender than larger ones.
- Roast the beets properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the beets at a high temperature (400°F or higher) until they are fork-tender. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the beets.
- Use a variety of pears: This recipe calls for Bartlett pears, but you can use any type of pear that you like. Bosc, Anjou, and Comice pears are all good choices.
- Toast the Marcona almonds: Toasting the almonds will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
Conclusion:
This roasted beet salad with pears and Marcona almonds is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beets are roasted until tender and sweet, the pears add a touch of sweetness and crunch, and the Marcona almonds add a nutty flavor and texture. The dressing is light and tangy, and it brings all of the flavors together perfectly. This salad is also very easy to make. Simply roast the beets, slice the pears, toast the almonds, and whisk together the dressing. Then, assemble the salad and enjoy!
