with maple toasted walnuts and goat cheese on a bed of baby lettuces dressed with Balsalmic vinegar and good olive oil
maple toasted walnuts: Dry toast nuts in a small frying pan. Add maple syrup. I used about 1 teaspoon for 1/4 cup nuts. Stir until all nuts are coated and then turn off the heat.
Try this fresh and hearty salad. Try the orange beets

Now that is what I call a salad. I am salivating. I will try to find persimmons this weekend when we go to Augusta & Portland. Whole Foods should have them.
I did get the orange beets at Whole Foods. They should also have both kinds of persimmons/
If you can find beets with the greens still attached, this is my favorite new trick:
Day 1: Separate the beets, stems, and greens. Discard the stems. Put the beets in the oven to roast. Sauté greens with olive oil and garlic, as you might do with chard.
Serve the greens over polenta with sausage or pancetta.
After dinner, remove the beets from the oven. Let cool, remove skins, then stick in the fridge.
Day 2: You've got roasted beets, ready to go. Bring them to room temp, then serve in a salad, or just with salt, oil, and goat cheese.
Yum!
Great Ideas, Brad! The greens are probably just as good for you as the beets. I love the polenta and pancetta idea. The greens are also a great addition to a soup.
