This recipe for a roasted beet salad will change your mind forever about beets. Now, un-wrinkle that turned up nose, and hear me out. I use to over look beets at the super market as you may do, because the options were pretty much the same red beets. Once I started shopping at the farmer’s markets that changed as I was suddenly introduced to a rainbow of beets, which also opened the door to many new recipes.
