Ingredients
3 medium size or 6-7 small red beets, yellow beets or a combination(more if you love beets)
1 cup cherries, pitted and cut in half
1 cup blueberries, washed
1 cup raspberries, washed
1 cup strawberries, washed and quartered
Honey Vinaigrette salad dressing ingredients
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lime juice or the juice of 1 lime
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
fresh ground pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F. If the beets still have their leafy tops cut them off close to the beet, then wash the beets.
Place the beets on aluminum foil, drizzle with a little olive oil and loosely toss beets, then wrap like a little package. Place beets on a rimmed cookie sheet to catch the beet juice. Bake for 45-60 minutes.
Small beets will cook more quickly than large beets so be sure to check the beets after 20-25 minutes to see if they are done. Use a skewer to test for doneness. Once the beets are cool enough to touch use a paring knife to remove the skins. The cool and cut into chunks.
For the salad
In a large serving bowl add fresh strawberries, cherries and blueberries along with the cooled roasted red beets. Mix gently. Then pour the beet mixture onto a serving plates or a platter. Sprinkle with fresh raspberries, a chiffonade of mint and fresh basil. Drizzle salads with vinaigrette.
For the Dressing
Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a Weck jar and shake thoroughly. Or whisk all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
Notes
Measurements for beets and berries are approximate, add more or less of your favorites.
