Try roasting your fresh beets wrapped in foil for 45 minutes, cool then remove the skins. |

| Beets were purchased earlier in the day from the farmers market on Sanibel Island ~ big and delicious! Sorry to see the market close for the season..... |

| Wonderful huge heads of fresh lettuce also picked up from the farmers market. Dressing for salad 1 T. red wine vinegar, 1/2 t. Dijon mustard, 3/4 t. balsamic vinegar, 1/4 c. olive oil, 4-6 ounces of fresh lettuce or baby greens, 3-4 beets, ( cooked) mine were rather large, salt and pepper to taste, fresh herbs to your liking; I added parsley and tarragon. Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl. Toss with the lettuce, beets and added herbs right before serving. A nice serving for two! After the pictures were taken, I threw in some crumbled goat cheese.That really topped it off! |

It's only been about 2 years since I learned: I love roasted beets. My favorite roast beet salad is made with a walnut oil dressing which I've greatly tweaked over time. Beautiful photos! Will try this one soon.
I am going to try it with the walnut oil~I bet that is delicious! Thanks for stopping by~love your site!
This is just a Farmer's Market fresh dream.
Your photos are always outstanding Jann. The goat cheese topping sounds delicious. My husband would love this salad. He's a beet guy.

No need to get complicated to get a good salad, right? I have not yet tried walnut oil myself. Hope all is well with you :)a
