How to Make Roasted Beet Salsa Or Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim the tops off 1 lb beets. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
  3. Roast for 40-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. While beets roast, prepare the salsa: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot, 1-2 finely minced jalapeños (adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 2 tablespoons lime juice.
  5. Whisk in 6 tablespoons olive oil.
  6. Once beets are cool enough to handle, peel and dice them into 1/2-inch pieces.
  7. Add the diced beets to the salsa mixture and stir gently to combine.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  9. Serve immediately or chill for later. Delicious as a salad or a side dish with grilled fish or chicken!
