It's a good thing I has this recipe earmarked for a day off because the beets took almost all of Braveheart (which is not a short movie) to roast. Maybe I should have roasted them in the big oven, or cranked the heat higher, or just chopped them up into smaller pieces... Basically not followed the the directions in the note on roasting them in the book. Eventually they did tenderize enough I declared them done.

| Before Mixing, Pale |
The beets in this recipe are tossed with an amazing collection of pale ingredients; fennel, jicama, red onion, Asian pear and then goat cheese. Before and after adding the beets is a dramatic color shift.

This combo gets you something healthy, and reasonably tasty (my dad, who is a bigger fan of beets than me, loved it).
Difficulty Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? Probably; my dad loves beets and will likely talk me into repeating this at some point. Having gotten comfortable with the shredder on my food processor a recipe like this where so many of the ingredients need to be thinly sliced is less of a pain than it would be otherwise. It does make a nice change from green salad, and will go on the list for people who hate lettuce.
