Number Of Ingredients 8

6 bunches baby red beets (about 20), scrubbed well and trimmed, greens reserved and washed well
6 bunches baby golden beets (about 20), scrubbed well and trimmed, greens reserved and washed well
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 1/2 ounces pecans (1 cup), toasted and coarsely chopped
3 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (3/4 cup)
2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 4 pieces of foil with parchment. Place 10 beets in center of each; drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Fold into packets, crimping edges to seal. Place on a baking sheet, and roast until beets are tender, about 1 hour. Unfold packets to cool slightly. Peel, and quarter.
  • Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add reserved beet greens, and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper-towel-lined plates, and let drain. Combine beets and beet-green mixture with pecans, blue cheese, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Serve warm.

This salad was very expensive to make. I think it would have been better if I used less expensive ingredients.

This salad was not very flavorful. I think it would have been better with more fresh herbs.

This salad was very time-consuming to make. I think it would have been better if the beets were roasted in the oven instead of on the stovetop.

This salad was very bland. I think it would have been better with more seasoning.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a less sweet dressing.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a hit. The beets are always perfectly roasted and the blue cheese dressing is the perfect complement. I highly recommend this salad!

This salad was easy to make and very flavorful. I used goat cheese instead of blue cheese and it was still delicious. I would definitely recommend this salad to anyone looking for a quick and easy side dish.

This salad was absolutely delicious! I made it for a potluck and it was a huge hit. The beets were perfectly roasted and the blue cheese dressing was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this salad again.
