I love the taste of fresh beets and the marinade I use on them makes a great vinaigrette for a green salad. Sprinkle a little goat cheese on top and you have a meal. I like to use watercress in my greens mixture as I love the contrast of the sweet of the beet with the spiciness of the watercress.
Fresh Beets Vinaigrette
1 bunch of beets; usually 3 to 4 med beets
1/2 C olive oil
1/4 C Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 C Blood Orange Vinegar
Cook beets on the stove top until tender. Rinse in cold water and peel. Finely slice and place in a bowel. Add olive oil and vinegars. Adjust based on your taste; I like a stronger vinegar flavor but you might like more of the olive oil flavor.
Salt and pepper to taste
Serving options
Salad- serve with your favorite mix of greens and a soft goat cheese; include a nice baguette to catch all the leftover vinaigrette in the bowl. Yum!
