Beet Salad

Ingredients

2 pounds beets, (5-6 medium)

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar, or white-wine vinegar

½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon honey

½ teaspoon salt

Freshly ground pepper, to taste

1 stalk celery, finely chopped

1 large shallot, finely chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 400˚F. Divide beets between 2 pieces of foil; bring edges together and crimp to make packets. Roast until the beets are just tender when pierced with the point of a knife, about 1 1/4 hours. Unwrap the beets and let them cool.

Meanwhile, whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl to make dressing.

When the beets are cool enough to handle, slip off the skins. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Add celery, shallot and the dressing; toss to coat well.
