Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby beets rinsed with greens removed
  • 6 cups romaine cleaned and chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese crumbled
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds optional
  • 1/4 cup raspberry balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh tarragon minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400º F. Wrap the washed and trimmed beets in a foil packet and place in the oven. Roast until tender, 20 minutes or more depending on the size of the beets.
  2. Remove the beets from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Peel the beets, using your fingers or a paring knife to pull back the first outside layer of skin. Once they are roasted and cooled, this should come off quite easily.
  3. Place the romaine, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, Gorgonzola and almonds in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, tarragon, sea salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to create an emulsion.
  4. Before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss.
