BEETS AND TOMATO
Adapted a recipe from another site. I know it sounds weird, but you have to try this if you like beets and you like tomatoes. Very easy to put together and a real inexpensive side dish. We served this with some fish fillets, and the flavors complemented each other.

CHILLED TOMATO AND BEET SOUP
Lycopene is part of the carotenoid family and gives tomatoes, bell peppers, watermelon and other red vegetables and fruits their color. It's much heralded for its antioxidant properties in the body, meaning it can search for and stabilize damaging free radicals. The body best absorbs lycopene when combined with a little fat, so toss fresh tomatoes with olive oil or add grated Parmesan to your spaghetti with tomato sauce. Betalain is also one of nature's red pigments and is found primarily in red beets and red Swiss chard. Studies have indicated that it also has antioxidant properties and suggest that betalain is better absorbed when paired with vitamin C (the red bell pepper in this soup will help on that front).

Steps:
- Combine the oil, sun-dried tomatoes and paprika in a small skillet. Bring to a low simmer over medium-low heat and swirl until the tomatoes soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
- Combine the sun-dried tomatoes and oil with the beets and beet juice, peppers, garlic and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. Puree in a blender with 1 cup cold water until very smooth. Transfer to a bowl or large liquid measuring cup and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
- Divide the soup evenly among four bowls. Sprinkle the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and peppers in each bowl. Garnish with beets chips and a dollop of sour cream, if using.

BEET AND TOMATO SALAD WITH SCALLIONS AND DILL
A little bistro in Normandy, France, inspired this salad that's so satisfying in its simplicity. Bright and fresh, the beets and tomatoes are dressed in a tart vinaigrette and served side by side, rather than mixed together. Though the combination may seem unusual, it's delicious. For the best flavor, choose ripe tomatoes and cook your own beets (don't be tempted to use the precooked vacuum packed type). Feel free to cook the beets and day or two in advance.

Steps:
- Cook the beets: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub beets, and place in 2 baking dishes just large enough to hold them - golden beets in one, red in the other to keep colors from bleeding. Add an inch or so of water. Cover and bake until tender when probed with a skewer, about 1 hour. Set aside to cool. (Alternatively, boil or steam beets instead. Beets may be cooked several hours or up to 2 days in advance.)
- Prepare the vinaigrette: Put vinegar and pinch of salt in a small bowl. Add mustard and stir with a fork to dissolve. Beat in olive oil to make the dressing thicken slightly. Add pepper to taste, plus a bit more salt, if necessary.
- When the beets are cool enough to handle, rub off the skins. Cut golden beets in half lengthwise, then into 6 to 8 wedges, depending on the beet's size. Repeat with red beets. Place in separate bowls, and season with salt. Slice tomatoes 1/2-inch thick, place in a separate bowl and season with salt.
- Whisk vinaigrette, and pour over beets and tomatoes, dividing it evenly among the bowls. Toss gently and marinate for 10 minutes.
- To serve, spoon the golden beets, red beets and tomatoes into distinct piles onto a large platter or serve in separate bowls. Top with scallions, and sprinkle with dill. Garnish with arugula or watercress, if using.
MY FAVORITE BEET SALAD
Fresh roasted beets over a bed of baby spinach with tomatoes, avocados, onions and feta cheese drizzled with a balsamic dressing. You can cut this recipe in half for 4 servings, though it so good the next day too that I always make plenty.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place the beets into a large bowl, and drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Lay out 2 large squares of aluminum foil on a work surface, and place 3 beets onto the center of each sheet. Fold the aluminum foil into 2 envelopes, sealing the beets into the packets; place the packets into a baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Check for tenderness after 1 hour by piercing a beet with a fork. Open the foil, and allow the beets to cool until they can be handled; peel, and slice.
- Lay out the spinach leaves on an attractive oblong-shaped serving platter. Sprinkle pieces of tomato and avocado over the spinach leaves, and top with chopped red onion. Lay the sliced warm beets over the salad, and top with crumbled feta cheese.
- Whisk together balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup of olive oil, and Dijon mustard until smooth; pour over the salad to serve.

SAUTEED BEET GREENS
The next time your bunch of beets come with fresh greens attached, put them to work in this super-quick side dish. While beets will always have that signature earthy sweetness to boast about, their greens carry a more neutral taste-making them the perfect blank canvas for any of the three delicious flavor profiles below.
