Party Beets

Are you a little hesitant about beets? Do they kind of overwhelm you? When you hear, “Beets!” do you think, “What do I do with beets?” Well, prepare for Susan’s recipe for beets. These are easy and so delicious she brought them to a party and they were gobbled up so quickly she didn't have time to take a photo!

Susan's Party Beets

1 lb. beets
4 oz. olive oil – I used my Primo Oliva Blood orange evoo
2 tbs. sea salt
Juice and zest of orange
Salad greens to serve on
4 oz. blue cheese to garnish

1.      In bowl, combine 1 tbs. of salt, 1 oz. evoo and beets, toss to coat. Layer on a foil lined roasting pan and roast in a preheated 275 degree oven until tender, about an hour for small to medium beets

2.      Slice into 1/4 inch slices and set aside.

3.      Combine remaining evoo with juice and zest and mix well.

4.      Layer beets on top of salad greens, drizzle with dressing, sprinkle remaining salt and top with blue cheese. I served it with additional dressing on the side.

Thank you Susan for the delicious recipe! We can't wait to try it!
