Roasted Beets with Pine Nuts, Dill, and Red Onion
Lee Harrelson
Golden or ruby beets work well in this summer salad. Roast the beets up to four days before serving, and combine with the other ingredients up to two hours before it goes to the table.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°.
Step 2
Leave root and 1 inch of stem on beets; scrub with a brush. Place beets in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish; add 1/2 cup water to dish. Cover and bake at 450° for 40 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain; cool. Trim off beet roots; rub off skins. Slice each beet into 8 wedges.
Step 3
Combine beets, onion, and remaining ingredients in a bowl, stirring gently.

This was fabulous! After roasting but before skinning, I cooled the beets in a bowl of ice water (they were taking forever to cool); plus sauted the red onion. Everyone loved this dish. As an experiment I also tried this with canned beets - DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! There is a world of difference in taste - stick to the real deal.

I used a mix of golden and purple beets. The purple bled all over the golden and turned them a sort of flourescent orange - quite entertaining! Great suggestion on caramelizing the onions. This is my favorite beet recipe of the five or six I've tried so far (other than beet soup, that is).
