It's kind of like this... (Chunky Beets & Icy Red Onion)

Howdy!  I would love to tell you all about this Beet & Onion salad, but it's kind of like this...


...at the moment, I am probably sitting on a beach somewhere several hundreds of miles away from home.  With a book in hand.  And my shades on.  Watching the ocean.  Or walking along the shore.  Or lighthouse hunting.  Or taking a nap.  Or eating.  Oh yeah, there must be food.  Maybe a lobster boil?  Or some crawfish.  It's all good, man.  It's all good.
 


It's vacation week!  Yeah. 


So, I shall leave you all with this oh-so-simple beet salad that I made.  But didn't eat. 

Beets were slowly roasted in the oven.  Skins removed when cooled.  Cubed & tossed with a Dijon viniagrette (Canning jars are my BFF's - what CAN'T you use them for???).  Onions were thinly sliced and tossed in at the end.  A little bit of basil for the "beauty shot".  Just because. 


If you want to know how it was...


...you'll have to ask my momma.  And my daddy.  :-)


See you next week.  Have a safe & happy 4th of July! 

This very post participates in French Fridays with Dorie.
