Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium beets, scrubbed
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
2 small heads of radicchio, cut into large wedges through root end
1 cup pomegranate juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Flaky sea salt (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss beets with 1 Tbsp. oil on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; season with kosher salt. Roast, tossing once, until skins are charred and beets are tender, 40-50 minutes. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook radicchio wedges on cut sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.
  • Add pomegranate juice to skillet; bring to a boil and cook until thickened and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar; season with kosher salt.
  • Tear beets open and place around radicchio; spoon dressing over. Top salad with pomegranate seeds, sprinkle with sea salt, and drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil.
