1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
2
Prepare the beets by cutting off the 2 ends and the greens.
-
3
(The greens can be used in another recipe if you like...) Next rub down the beets with olive oil and wrap them in tin foil.
-
4
Place them in a shallow pan or dish and bake them for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until a knife slides in and out of the beets easily.
-
5
When the beets are finished, rubbing the skins off with a towel can peel them.
-
6
Julienne the beets.
-
7
Prepare the trout by skinning and deboning it, and shredding it to the size you prefer.
-
8
I like to shred it very finely, so that every bite of salad has a bite of trout.
-
9
If you can find already deboned smoked trout, it will reduce your prep time significantly.
-
10
Place the lettuce and spinach on a plate and build the other ingredients onto the salad, as you like.
-
11
I like to run each ingredient down the side of the mountain of greens in sections and mix as I eat.
-
12
Dress the salad with Green Goddess Dressing, and serve with a fresh baguette.
-
13
Mix everything in a 2 quart bowl or larger.
-
14
Can be stored in your refrigerator for up to 7 days.
-
15
If you like your dressing greener, increase the herbs.
-
16
If you like your dressing leaner, leave out buttermilk and add 1/2 cup yogurt to replace it.
-
17
And if you like it meaner, up the herbs, the pepper (or use white pepper!
-
18
), and the garlic!
