trying something new on a case of the mundays

I have realized that I need to start providing recipes and ideas to add to these concoctions I make, you know share the knowledge, knowledge is power kinda thing. Case in point these beets. Everyone who had them, loved. Me included and I think beets taste like dirt. Very simple to make but requires, containment, some gloves and excess amounts tin foil.

Roasted Beet Salad
3-4 medium sized beets
1 red onion
red wine vinegar to taste - about 2-4 tablespoons
white vinegar to taste (optional)
lemon juice to taste
2 tblspns oil
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Note to chef: wear latex gloves when even coming close to contact with the beets. They stain EVERYTHING.

Coat beets lightly with oil, bit of salt and pepper. Wrap beets in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet (I wrapped the baking sheet in a bit of aluminum to prevent staining), and roast in the oven until cooked through (prick with a fork, they are done when totally soft), approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes, and then peel beets and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Mix all your ingredients together and presto chango, you got yourself a bomb.com salad.
