There are just too many good things going on in this salad to give it a proper title, so I’ll have to tell you what’s happening right here. This roasted beet salad is nested on a bed of shavedbrussels sprouts and topped with fresh sweet strawberries, then kissed with a tangy-sweetbalsamic vinaigrette made with pomegranate juice! It’s seriously good, and seriously RED.
Strawberry Beet Salad – Balsamic Vinaigrette
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch red beets (3-4 beets)
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 lb. brussels sprouts, halved and sliced thin
- 1/2 cup + 1 Tb. olive oil, divided
- 3 Tb. balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tb. lime juice
- 1/4 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- Salt and Pepper
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel the beets and slice thin. Then lay them out on the baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Salt and pepper liberally. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender.
- Meanwhile, slice the strawberries and brussels sprouts and set aside. Whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lime juice, pomegranate juice, cumin, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.
