ingredients

  • For the salad:
  • Arugula

  • Microgreens and edible flowers

  • Roasted yellow beets, thinly sliced (see note below)

  • For the dressing (makes 1 ¾ cups):
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped parsley

  • 4 scallions, sliced

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup buttermilk

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • Juice of 1 lemon (scant ¼ cup)

  • 1 small clove garlic, grated (about ¼ teaspoon)

  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

Directions

  • Blend the parsley, scallions, sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic and salt to desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary.
  • Combine greens. Fold in beets and place in salad bowls. Drizzle with dressing and top with flowers.

Notes

  • Recipe adapted from Desiree Currie
  • Any remaining dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel beets. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Wrap in foil. Roast for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and then slice thinly. A mandoline (I use this one) makes slicing easy.
