Side Dish

Salt Roasted Beet Salad

Salt roasted beets tossed in a delicious vinaigrette, topped with goat cheese and pistachio nuts is a light and refreshing salad to accompany a main course.

Roasting the beets on a bed of Morton Kosher Salt allows for better heat transfer in the oven. The salt will also absorb much of the beet juice that could weep while roasting. Morton Coarse Sea Salt gives a great salt crunch to the beets.
