Sweetheart Salad
Dress up a green salad for Valentine’s Day with a garnish
of tender beet hearts. Prepare the beets by roasting or steaming
them: To roast, heat oven to 400°, wrap beets tightly in
foil, and cook until a fork slides in easily, about 1 hour;
to steam, place whole beets in a steamer basket in a medium
saucepan, and cook until fork tender, 25 to 60 minutes, depending
on their size. Peel the beets once they’re cooled; for
easy peeling, use paper towels to rub skins off. Slice peeled
beets thinly with a mandoline, and make heart shapes with a
cookie cutter. Serve arranged around the edge of your favorite
green salad. |
