Cooking with Beets

The Beauty of Beets

Fresh beets offer great color, flavor, and texture, but preparing them can be intimidating. Use our beets guide for helpful prep tips and put this spring and fall vegetable to good use in a variety of yummy recipes.

First up is Winter Salad with Roasted Beets and Citrus Reduction Dressing. Don’t say you don’t like beets until you’ve tried them roasted. A tip for avoiding a horror scene in the kitchen: Use thin latex gloves to rub the skins off roasted beets hot from the oven so hands don’t get stained. This salad combines the glorious colors of red and golden beets with a tangy citrus dressing. The earthiness of the beets is a good contrast to the bright and bitter greens, too.
