Roasted Beet Salad

We’re keeping it light as we approach the holidays.  Roast some beets sometime during the day today for this lighter yet satisfying dinner.    

The earthy richness of beets are worked into a salad with crispy lettuce, toasted chopped walnuts and sliced hardboiled egg.  The fresh zing of mango pieces adds the coup de grace to this flavor festival.

It’s all topped with a honey mustard dressing and served with an artisan roll.
