 <\/p>\n

This is almost directly from a Cooking Light recipe<\/a>.  Ridiculously easy with really interesting flavor combinations.  <\/p>\n

  • 1.5 pounds golden beets<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4  cup crumbled feta <\/li>\n
  • 1\/4  cup sour cream <\/li>\n
  • 2  Tb milk <\/li>\n
  • 2  Tb mayonnaise <\/li>\n
  • 1 1\/2  tsp white wine vinegar <\/li>\n
  • 1\/8  tsp salt <\/li>\n
  • 1\/8  tsp black pepper <\/li>\n
  • lettuce\/greens<\/li>\n
  • thin sliced red onion<\/li>\n
      \n
    1. Roast beets.  I used the Cooking Light recipe to do this\u00e2\u20ac\u201d425 degree oven, scrubbed clean, roasted for 45 minutes.  Slightly cooled, trim roots and rub off skins. <\/li>\n
    2. Slice beets into wedges (about 8 per beet, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re using medium-sized).  Some of mine were huge. <\/li>\n
    3. The feta cheese (yummm) gets mixed with everything down to the black pepper and blended with a whisk.  It was really thick and difficult for topping the salad, but so worth it. <\/li>\n
    4. Top greens with beets, red onion and dressing.  The recipe called for fresh parsley at this point.  I left it out. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Gorgeous plate.  :)  <\/p>\n

      We made these poppy seed pan-roasted turnips, but I was not a fan.  The recipe was a bit strange, but this was mostly am experiment to see if turnips will be one of our regular veggies\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6the answer: NO.  I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had a few things with turnips in them that we fine, and I loved the Winter Vegetable Stew with Maple Glazed Tofu<\/a> we made last year, but this was not good.  If you love turnips, maybe you will appreciate this recipe<\/a> from Mario Batali, which clearly uses far less poppy seeds than I did (although I followed the recipe exactly, so who knows).\"IMG_0898<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
