The hubby came home with a full box of beets, which I promptly roasted. The lemony, garlicky dressing goes so well with gorgonzola, and this is the end result. COOK TIME IS MARINATING TIME!

How To Make roasted beet salad with gorgonzola crumbles

  • 1
    Prepare the vinaigrette in a measuring cup by adding all the ingredients and stirring to combine. This recipe works best if you run the garlic through a garlic press, but it's ok if it's just finely minced. Pour the vinaigrette into a medium mixing bowl.
  • 2
    To make the salad, rub the skins off the beets, then cut into 1-inch wedges. Add them to the bowl and carefully toss so that they are fully coated with vinaigrette. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • 3
    When ready to serve, place the beets in/on a serving dish. Sprinkle the chopped herbs evenly over the top. Then top everything with the crumbled gorgonzola. Serve immediately.
  • 4
    Note - if making ahead, refrigerate the marinated beets. Add the herbs and cheese only when ready to serve.
