Freshness is the name of the game today with this tasty Roasted Golden Beet Salad! With our busy summer I finally had a chance to stop by our local Farmer's Market.  I'm really not an early riser so I usually head over around 10 while the crowd is still going strong but still lots of veggies to choose from. 

I love meandering around, taking in all the sights and fresh produce.  I kind of go prepared with a list in my mind and then walk around to scope out for what I'm looking for.  I sometimes stop and buy right away or if I'm not in a hurry, I'll walk the entire market and then go back for my goodies!  It's an experience that I really enjoy and may buy more than what is in my mind 🙂

Roasted Golden Beet Salad is a great addition to your dinner table that is so fresh!

Last week was just one of those weeks where I didn't feel like cooking much and couldn't even think of what to make, so one night we ended up going out to dinner.  We could have went to a chain restaurant that would have been quick but instead went to a "fancier" place and was able to sit outside and really enjoy the night. 

First up some tasty cocktails - mine was call a Mint Night Summer's Dream and it was fantastic.  Then we just decided to have a few small plates and call it good.  The restaurant is known for serving the freshest foods available and this {copy cat} salad did not disappoint.  Perfectly roasted beets with feta, mint, julienne radishes, fresh cracked pepper and drizzled with a bit of oil olive.

What ingredients will you need for this salad?

• Fresh Beets
• Mint
• Feta Cheese
• Radish Sprouts
• Cracked Pepper
• Olive Oil

My version is very similar though I found at the Farmer's Market spicy radish sprouts; those really added a zippy tang to the whole dish.  It's best to try and take a bite with a little bit of the added ingredients with the beet - it is a flavor explosion in your mouth.

How do you roast beets?

Start with preheating your oven to 400 degrees.  Take the fresh beets and cut off the stem (leave about a ½") and trim the root at the end then scrub them really well (no need to dry them).

Place each beet top side up on either heavy duty foil or two layers of regular foil.  Wrap up a bit loosely and place on a rimmed baking sheet.  Roast for about 50 minutes until they are fork tender.

Note: Be sure to check them about every 20 minutes and if they seem dry, add a tablespoon of water then seal back up.  Once they are done and cooled, the skins should peels right off (I use a paper towel to rub off the skin).

Let beets cool completely then they are ready to use.
