This recipe wins over so many people who thought they hated beets or just never wanted to even try them. I was that person – once I actually tasted this recipe, well, I was sold and have loved beets ever since. Once beets are steamed and peeled, it is simple and easy. Beets can be prepped a day ahead and stored in a bag or container, but I personally like bringing it all together in one shot.

Beet Carpaccio with Mint Vinaigrette Recipe

Ingredients

6 2-inch beets

trimmed

as evenly sized as possible

2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese

or more to taste

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

⅓ cup rice vinegar

¼ cup chopped fresh mint

¼ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon white sugar

Salad

Directions

Step 1

Fill a pot with 3 inches of water insert a steamer basket and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low and place beets inside the steamer basket. Cover pot. Cook until beets are easily pierced with a knife checking water level periodically 35 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and cool about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Peel the beets; if you are using red and golden beets peel the golden ones first so you don't end up turning them pink. Remove any remaining root stems. Thinly slice beets and arrange on a serving platter. I use a round plate and start in the center alternating red and golden beet slices. Dot the top with goat cheese – you want to be able to see the beets but have enough cheese because it pairs so well with the beet. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Combine rice vinegar olive oil mint and sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle over beets.
