SERVES

Serves 8

Prep time: 10 min

Total time: 45 min

Ingredients

2 pkg (400 g each) Longo’s Cubed Red Beets

5 tbsp Longo’s 100% Pure Canola Oil, divided

3/4 tsp each salt and pepper, divided

4 Fuyu persimmons

3 tbsp Longo’s Signature White Vinegar of Modena

2 tsp Longo’s Dijon Mustard Microgreens (optional)

1/4 cup Longo’s Slivered Almonds, toasted

Directions

Toss beets with 2 tbsp of the oil and 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Roast in preheated 400°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until browned and tender.

Quarter persimmons (like an apple); slice quarters lengthwise.

Whisk together vinegar, Dijon and remaining oil, salt and pepper. Toss persimmons with half the dressing. Gently toss beets with remaining dressing.

Arrange beets on platter; surround with persimmons. Garnish with microgreens (if using) and sprinkle with almonds.

A Dash of Advice

Sprinkle salad with crumbled feta for a tangy contrast in flavour.Extend this salad using baby greens such as spinach or kale. Double the dressing and toss the extra with 1 tub (142 g) greens to create a base before layering the beets and persimmons.
