GOLDEN BEET SALAD WITH CIDER VINEGAR DRESSING
This colorful golden beet salad is certain to win over even the staunchest beet skeptic. It comes from Sara Forte, a self-taught vegetarian chef who writes the Sprouted Kitchen blog. This beet salad was born of necessity when Ms. Forte's C.S.A. basket began overflowing with beets. "In California, beets are pretty easy to grow year-round, so I have them all the time," she said. "I've gotten kind of tired of roasting a big pan of vegetables, so I've been trying to find a different way to reinvent them."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Rinse the beets and cut off the greens, saving them for another use. Rub the beets with the olive oil, wrap in foil and place on a baking sheet (in case they leak). Bake until you can pierce through the middle of each beet with a knife, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- While the beets are cooking, gently bring the vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is reduced by a third. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- When the beets are cool, use a paring knife to remove the skins, which should peel off easily. Cut each beet into thin slices using a sharp knife. Sprinkle them with salt and toss them in the reduced vinegar.
- Toss the mâche with the walnut oil and a few grinds of pepper. Top the mâche with the beets, walnut pieces and cheese. Use a spoon to drizzle the remaining vinegar on top, as desired. Serve immediately.
