directions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the beets with the shallots, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Transfer to an 11-by-13-inch pan and cook, tossing beets twice, until they are tender and browned in places (but not burnt), 25 to 35 minutes.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a large serving bowl and toss with the vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange the spinach on four salad plates. Arrange the beets on the spinach and sprinkle with blue cheese and serve immediately.

  1. Fabulous! thanks
     
  2. My absolute favourite salad recipe -- It's part of my regular repetoire now but somehow I've never gotten around to reviewing, sorry! Knocks company's socks off, this recipe does...I've used goat cheese & walnuts instead of the blue on occasion -- not sure which version I prefer....
     
  3. Love, love, love roasted beets and the simple dressing here really compliments their flavours. Some nuts would be a nice touch on top but the salad certainly carries its own as is. My beets took about 35 minutes to cook. I served on top of rocket lettuce instead of spinach.

I'm a bit of health nut, I must admit, but have an incurable sweet-tooth. I spend much of my free time outside, running, yoga-ing, biking, reading, and enjoying music. I love to cook and am always looking for something new, healthy, and gluten free to try.
