My Food Obsession

I know everyone is not a fan of beets, but I happen to LOVE them.
I love them steamed, roasted, chilled and yes, even pickled.
They're messy to prepare and their vibrant hue seems to stain just about every inch of me when I'm peeling them, but they're delicious!
My current beet obsession has taken the form of a roasted beet salad. It's incredible!
The salad is composed of roasted beets, red onions, toasted walnuts and goat's cheese on a bed of Boston Bibb lettuce (our preference, but arugula or any other green is good as well) with a lemon-olive oil dressing. Yum!
This is pretty much what it looks like, minus the tomatoes, but those would be a nice touch:


It's healthy and delicious! Try it.
