Roasted Beet Salad

This is a great recipe! I found this in Dr. Oz's book "You: On a Diet". I've made it several times and it's great. This week & last, we got beets in our CSA-perfect!

Sweet Beet & Gorgonzola Salad 


Ingredients:
6 medium beets, trimmed
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp. Honey
1 garlic clove, pressed or minced
1/2 tsp. soy sauce (I use Tamari low sodium)
1/2 bunch Chives, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons gorgonzola cheese (I use fat free feta crumbles)

Directions:
In a large saucepan, simmer beets in water to cover until tender but still firm, about 30 minutes. Drain, cool, and remove skin. On a baking sheet, place chopped beets and drizzle with olive oil, salt & pepper. Roast at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. (I find this brings out the flavor much more than boiling) Meanwhile, combine oil, vinegar, honey, garlic, and tamari in a medium bowl. Add beets to bowl. Toss with dressing & chives. Sprinkle with feta.
