Ingredients
- 4 beets mixed colors - allow 2 small or 1 medium beet per serving
- 1 grapefruit Ruby red, pink, or mixed grapefruit sections (about 1/2 grapefruit per serving)
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced, for garnish
- 1 tsp lime zest for garnish
Citrus Vinaigrette
- 2 limes juiced (plus zest from one)
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp honey
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Roast the beets. (You can do this ahead) Cut off and discard the leafy greens (or use for another recipes). Scrub the beets and put them on a dry baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until a small sharp knife can pierce them easily. Depending on the size of your beets, this may take an hour to an hour and a half.
- Remove the beets from the oven and when they are cool enough to handle, slip off their skins. If you have trouble, use a serrated vegetable peeler.
- If roasting ahead, refrigerate the beets until ready to use.
- Slice, quarter, or chop the beets, but keep the dark red ones separate so they don't bleed color onto the golden beets.
- Arrange the beets on individual plates along with the grapefruit. Top with thinly sliced red onion. Just before serving, drizzle with the lime vinaigrette, and garnish with a little lime zest.
Vinaigrette
- To make the vinaigrette, juice the limes, and slowly drizzle in good olive oil, while you whisk it. Add a drop of honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in the zest and taste to adjust any of the ingredients to your liking.
