Dandelion Greens Salad with Roasted Baby Beets
Not a beet lover? This colorful salad could be a gamechanger. Tender baby beets are brushed with champagne vinegar and roasted to perfection so the earthy bulbs are transformed into sweet treats. The bed of beet and dandelion greens (which have a similar taste to radicchio) make a great base for the roasted beets, asparagus spears, and chewy chickpeas. Whisk together a simple mustard vinaigrette and garnish with a sprinkle of thyme for straight-from-the-garden goodness!
Tip: If you can’t find baby beets with fresh tops attached, substitute 4 cups of baby Swiss chard or baby spinach for the greens. Come summer, use full-size beets and cut them into quarters.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 lb. small beets with greens
- 4 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1 lb. thin asparagus spears
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
