Equipment

  • Sheet pan
  • Aluminum foil
  • Blender
  • Sauté pan

Ingredients
 
 

Salad

  • 3 red beets
  • 3 golden beets
  • 1½ cups arugula optional
  • ½ cup goat cheese crumbled
  • ½ cup pecans chopped
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • ½ tablespoon thyme

Roasted Garlic Dressing

  • ½ cup shallot chopped
  • ½ teaspoon roasted garlic
  • 6 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450F, 230C, or gas mark 8.
  • Cut the tops and root tips off of the beets and wrap the red beets together in foil and the orange beets together in foil. If you are going to be roasting your own garlic chop the top of the garlic off and wrap it in the foil with the beets.
  • Place both foil packages on the sheet pan and cook for 60 minutes.
  • While the beets are cooking in a small sauté pan add add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and shallots. Cook on medium stirring occasionally until they have started to caramelize, about 7-12 minutes. Set the pan aside.
  • When the beets are done remove from the oven and allow to cool. If you roasted the garlic then in a bowl squeeze out all of the garlic from the head.
  • In a blender add the shallots, the oil they are in, the remaining oil, maple syrup, lemon juice and vinegar. Start on a low speed and gradually increase the speed until you get to your blender's highest setting. Blend until smooth and set aside.
  • Once the beets are cool enough to handle use a paper towel or napkin to rub off the skin of the beets. Start with the orange beets and then the red. Then dice the beets into large cubes.
  • Add the beets, dressing, thyme, and pecans to a bowl and toss well. Top with the goat cheese.
