I never met a beet I didn't like, but a lot of people have. I suspect it's because someone slipped them one of the canned pickled beauties our mothers loved in the 60's. Another one of those questionable food items that kept returning to the table even though no one ever actually ate them - like the gray peas.

Well, this salad has converted even the staunchest beet hater. Roasting the beets (like roasting any vegetable) brings out the sugar and makes them into what one of my clients calls "beet candy". This makes a colorful and lovely starter salad. Add some roasted chicken and you've got lunch.

Let's get cooking!
