How To Make baby beet and fresh mozzarella salad

Step 1

Marinate: Place beets and marinade ingredients into covered, oven-proof pan or casserole. Roast for 50 minutes or until tender. Uncover and cool.

Step 2

Dressing: Add the garlic, mustard, oil, vinegar, and salt to a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the greens and beets to the dressing and toss gently to coat.
Step 3

Serve: Place the salad on a large platter and scatter the mozzarella around the sides. Sprinkle with the pine nuts and chopped shallots.
Step 4

Note: if you don't want to heat up your house, simmer beets in marinade ingredients on the stove until tender. Add more water if needed.
