A memorable delight for holidays and winter
Ingredients:
- 3 small red beets, roasted and cut in quarters
- 1 head of fennel, sliced thin
- 1/4 red onion, peeled and sliced thin
- vegetable oil cooking spray (or olive oil cooking spray)
- 4 cups assorted fresh lettuces (we used red romaine and frise)
- 1 golden beet, raw, sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons baked pecan halves
- Dressing: juice of one lemon, 2 tsp olive oil
Directions:
Roast the red beet in the oven at 400 for one hour. Allow to cool slightly then use a paper towel to slip off the skin. Cut in quarters.
Place the sliced red onion and fennel on a pan and spray with vegetable oil. Roast together until they are brown and crisp, about 40 minutes to one hour.
Toast the pecans for 4 minutes.
Arrange the lettuce on a platter with the darkest one on the outside. Add shaved golden beets, quartered roasted red beets, toasted pecans, and carmelized onion and fennel. Mix the lemon and olive oil and drizzle over the top. Serve immediately.
Chef’s Tips:
You can make all of the ingredients ahead of time and then assemble at the last minute. If you don’t have golden beets you can use carrots.
