This easy and delicious recipe comes from a cooking show called Real Girl's Kitchen with Haylie Duff.  Make homemade dressing too!

Ingredients:

• 5 Beets (yellow, golden or other varieties) 
• Olive oil
• Sea salt
• Goat cheese
• 3 cups Butter lettuce or Arugula
• 1/4 cup cracked hazelnuts

Ingredients/Directions for Dressing:

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup hazel nut oil
• 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of black pepper

Stir together.

Directions:

Remove greens, clean beets well, and cut the ends off.  Put them in a pan, drizzle with olive oil, add pinch of sea salt, and bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 1 hour. (The cooking time may vary a little depending on the size of the beets). Check periodically to see if beets are tender.

After the beets are cooked, peel and cut them into quarters.

To serve:  Put butter lettuce or arugula on a big salad platter.  Place the beets on the greens and scatter 1/4 cup cracked hazelnuts on the top.  Add dressing to salad- thinly drizze across.  Break of chunks of goat cheese and scatter across the salad.

Hope you enjoy!
