Watermelon Red Hot Beet Salad
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel beets if desired. Otherwise, slice into 1 /2 inch pieces and toss with 2 teaspoons olive oil, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Place on a cookie sheet and roast until firm, but slightly tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 25 minutes. Remove from oven to cool.
- While beets are roasting, place watermelon juice in a medium saucepan and simmer until reduced to 2/3 cup and mixture has a slight syrupy consistency. Add lemon juice, vinegar, sherry, and salt and return to a simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and add olive oil. Adjust seasonings.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of dressing over beets and toss. Place lettuce and 1 cup of watermelon in a large mixing bowl and toss with remaining dressing until thoroughly coated. Transfer greens and watermelon to 4 plates, top with beets and remaining watermelon chunks, then sprinkle blue cheese over the top.
