BEET GREEN SALAD

Steps:

SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS BEET GREENS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the beet greens, and cook uncovered until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the greens are cold, drain well, and coarsely chop.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the greens until oil and garlic is evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper. Cook just until greens are hot; serve with lemon wedges.

BEET SALAD WITH MIXED GREENS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a sheet pan on the lower oven rack.
• Place beets on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Fold edges of the foil around the beets to make a sealed pouch.
• Place pouch on the center rack of the oven, so the sheet pan below can catch any drippings. Roast until beets are tender when pierced with a knife, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove beets from the oven. Open the pouch and allow to cool.
• Rub a paper towel on the cooled beets to remove skin. Cut into small pieces. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Chop grapefruit segments. Transfer fruit and any accumulated juices into a small bowl.
• Combine mustard greens, beet greens, romaine lettuce, chopped grapefruit and juice, red onion, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice in a large bowl; mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide greens among 6 salad bowls. Top with roasted beets and garnish with goat cheese and dill.

Mix in capers and 1/4 cup dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut stems off beet greens; discard stems. Wash greens. Transfer greens, with some water still clinging to leaves, to large pot. Stir over high heat until just wilted but still bright green, about 4 minutes. Drain greens; squeeze out excess moisture. Cool; chop coarsely.
• Transfer greens to medium bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
