Beet and Walnut Salad with Dill

1. 1

   Position a rack in the center of an oven and preheat to 375F.

2. 2

   Remove the beet greens, if attached, leaving about 1 inch of stem attached to the beets; reserve greens for another use.

3. 3

   Place the beets in a baking dish and cover with water by about 1/4 inch.

4. 4

   Cover tightly and bake until they can be easily pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the beets.

5. 5

   When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and cut into thin slices.

6. 6

   (A mandoline helps make neat, even slices.)

7. 7

   Place the beets in a bowl, add the vinegar and toss together gently.

8. 8

   Let stand for 30 minutes.

9. 9

   Add the olive oil, dill, garlic and salt, stirring gently so the slices don't break.

10. 10

    Taste and add more vinegar, if needed.

11. 11

    Stir in the walnuts and serve.
