Noshing Roasted Beet Salad
""Sadly beets are an overlooked vegetable, but here in this recipe they deserve to be in a place of honor as this salad is awakened with a reduced balsamic dressing that is flavored with cinnamon, pepper flakes, allspice, and cayenne which it is then topped with blue cheese and toasted pecans; it all pares excellently with the beets and transforms this salad into something that all can enjoy. Though wilted greens add extra flavor and color to this salad, I have not added it to the ingredients listing as it is up to your choice. Personally, I would enjoy it with either arugula or baby spinach or a combination thereof."..."
