Ohjeet

Roast your beets: preheat the oven to 400 °F.Thoroughly wash and pat the beets to dry. Using a sharp knife, trim a small slice off both the top and root ends of each beet then securely wrap with aluminum foil.Roast on a baking sheet for 40-50 minutes, or until tender. To check if the beets are done, pierce the thickest part of the beet with a fork; it should slide in easily.Allow the beets to cool completely.Once cooled, using a paper towel rub the skins off; they should easily come off.*Alternatively: you can substitute with store-bought beets that are ready-to-eat and cooked. Look for vacuum sealed or jars that are not pickled. Drain, and chop as per recipe instructions.

Prepare your beets: begin by cutting your beets into wedges or cubes. Set the prepared beets aside in a large mixing bowl.

Prepare the dressing: in a small mixing bowl, combine all of the dressing ingredients and stir until well-combined. (Don't worry if the dressing tastes tart; the sweetness of the beets will balance it out).

Mix: pour the dressing over the beats and gently toss to combine. Once combined, pour beets into a serving bowl.

Garnish: with crumbled goat cheese, toasted pine nuts and more fresh dill.
