MIXED BEET SALAD WITH MAPLE DIJON DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut the tops off the beets leaving about 2 inches of the stalk. Scrub beets well and wrap in foil with 2 beets of equal size in each packet.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven until beets yield to gentle pressure; approximately 1 hour. Remove from oven, unwrap and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle, slip the skins off of the beets; set aside.
• While the beets are roasting, place the maple syrup through lemon juice in a blender container. Blend until well combined. With blender running, drizzle in the olive oil and continue to blend until thickened.
• To assemble the salad, place the greens in a large bowl and drizzle with a small amount of dressing, toss to coat. Divide the greens among 6 chilled plates. Quarter beets or if large cut in eights and divide among the plates, top with onion rings, sprinkle feta and walnuts over all.
• Serve with addition dressing on the side.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH HORSERADISH CREAM DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Wash and trim beets, but do not peel.
• Place on a large piece of foil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then fold up in a loose package sealing seams tightly.
• Place foil package on a baking sheet and roast for 1 hour or until beets are tender.
• Let cool, then peel and thinly slice the beets.
• Refrigerate until serving.
• Whip cream until thick but not stiff, fold in sour cream and horseradish and season with salt and pepper.
• Refrigerate until serving.
• To serve, slice onion into thin rings, divide lettuce among serving plates.
• Top with beet slices and onion rings and drizzle with dressing.
• Sprinkle dill on top.

BAKED BEETS WITH MUSTARD HORSERADISH DRESSING

Steps:

• Leave skins, root ends and a bit of the stems on the beets.
• (Do NOT wash them, or they will simply steam-clean in the packet.) Wrap beets in a single-layer of foil- make sure beets are all about the same size, or wrap same-size beets in separate packages and bake the larger ones a longer time.
• Bake in pre-heated 400*F/200*C oven for 1 to 2 hours, or until beets are very tender- test by piercing through foil with knife.
• Open foil packages.
• Let beets cool just until they can be handled, then PUT ON RUBBER GLOVES (thank you Kate for the reminder) and trim beets by slipping off their skins.
• Slice beets or cut into wedges.
• TO MAKE DRESSING:In a small bowl whisk together mustard, garlic, horseradish, vinegar and pepper.
• Add salt to taste.
• Drizzle dressing over sliced beets.
• Sprinkle with chives.
• Serve at room temperature.
• PS: As Kate from Katoomba recommended, have any leftovers the next day with goat's cheese ... or in my case a nice bit of Bleu crumbled over. Delicious!
