Beet Salad with Honey-Horseradish Dressing
I LOVE this salad. Not only is it healthy and tasty but to my surprise, my picky 3 year old finally tried a beet. I tested this out with other little visitors of ours – 1 year old and a ‘I’m into beets’ teenager. The dressing it the key. The horseradish tends to give a nice zip but the honey mellows the flavour so the kids enjoy it. You can control the zip! So Go ahead! Get messy!
This recipe is from the wonderful Food Network. Courtesy of Ricardo and Friends…. Canadian and his recipes rock!
- 6 large beets, unpeeled
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp creamed horseradish (or to taste)
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped (I use the jarred minced garlic)
- Salt & pepper
Boil water, and cook the beets until tender. Drop them into cold water to cool them quickly. Cut into 1-cm thick wedges. Set aside
In a separate bowl, whisk together all the other ingredients to make the dressing and add the beets. Toss well and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
