Recipe by Susan Elane Berry from allrecipes.com

Dinner 2 Hr. 15 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 4 medium beets
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 0.25 cup micro greens
  • 2 tablespoons candied pecans
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
  • 0.66666668653488 cup olive oil
  • 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • Place beets into a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover beets by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until skins begin to loosen, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Drain beets, remove skins, and cut into halves or quarters, depending on size. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until beets are dark in color and almost fork-tender, but not too soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool beets, dice into 1/2-inch cubes, and place in a bowl.
  • Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey in a lidded jar for honey-mustard vinaigrette. Close jar and shake to combine. Pour vinaigrette over beets and chill in the refrigerator until flavors have melded, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter in a skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, 15 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and chop.
  • Arrange 1/4 of the marinated beets in a solid circle on 4 salad dishes. Top with layers of onions and micro greens and sprinkle with blue cheese and pecans. Drizzle remaining beet vinaigrette around each salad, if desired. Serve chilled.
