Feeling nostalgic for summer yet? I know I am. Tonight I made a winterized version of one of my favorite summer staples: a Caprese Salad. Used delicious roasted beets instead of tomatoes and it was so fresh yummy and satisfying it made me forget the cold for a moment or two.
Just wrap up the whole beets (skins on) with greens and bottoms removed in a tinfoil pouch with some olive oil, salt and pepper and roast at 375 for about an hour. Let them cool, and then peel and slice. Add fresh basil and sliced fresh mozzarella. Dress with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, s&p. Enjoy!
