How to Make Baked Beet Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub 1 lb beets thoroughly. Trim off the greens, leaving about an inch of stem attached.
  3. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
  4. Place the foil-wrapped beets on a baking sheet and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the center.
  5. Remove beets from oven and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the beets under cold running water. This helps remove the skins easily.
  6. Chop the peeled beets into bite-sized pieces (approximately 1 inch cubes).
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of honey, salt, and pepper to taste.
  8. Add the chopped beets to the bowl and toss gently to coat with the vinaigrette.
  9. Serve immediately or chill for later. For the sandwich filling, add sliced roast beef and serve on a Kaiser roll.
