    Delicious Roasted Beet Salad

    Published: Sep 11, 2013 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    Beets are a late-summer staple in most Amish gardens and kitchens.  Pickled beets are often seen on the menu at Amish weddings and or funerals depending on the settlement its culinary traditions.  I've never been a huge beet fan, I mean, they're OK.  But, wow, my wife makes a salad that'll make the beet go on for anyone.

    The salad is so full of flavor, color and crunch. We went out to our garden last night to harvest a lot of our beets and came away with enough of a bounty to prepare our favorite beet meal. We don't grow as many as a typical Amish gardener might,but we have enough for one or two meals and inevitably we end up preparing this salad. A big YUM to this one! This is a photo of our salad servings. Rachel's recipe is below.  The salad is a bit labor intensive, but I think you'll find it worth the reward!
