If you haven't had a beet in years, it is time to try again. This is a good dish to reintroduce you to beets.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 medium beets
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, washed
• 3 tablespoons walnut oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons toasted walnut pieces
• Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Wrap the beets in foil and place in the oven for about 1 hour or until a knife inserted into the deepest part comes out with no resistance.

3. When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin with your hands or a paper towel and chop the beets into 1-inch pieces.

4. While still warm, toss the beets with the remaining ingredients and serve at any temperature.
