Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 pound baby red beets
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon coarse salt
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 pound baby golden beets
1/3 pound baby candy cane beets
2 cups organic Greek yogurt
1/4 cup aged balsamic vinegar
2 ounces fresh chervil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place red beets in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon coarse salt, 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Wrap red beets in parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and set aside; repeat process in a clean bowl, first with golden beets, then with candy cane beets.
  • Place wrapped beets on a baking sheet and transfer to oven; roast until beets are easily pierced with the tip of a small knife, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Remove skins by rubbing each type of beet with a paper towel.
  • Cut beets into halves or quarters and transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, remaining 2 tablespoons coarse salt, and pepper; toss to combine.
  • Spoon yogurt into the bottom of a large shallow serving bowl; top with an even layer of beets. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and balsamic vinegar; garnish with chervil and season with sea salt and pepper. Serve.
