I love beets!!

 A few weeks ago I had lunch with a friend at a pizza place located in Bricktown called the Wedge.  http://www.thewedgeokc.com/. I ordered a personal pizza called a Truffel Shuffle and a roasted beet salad.  The salad was so good I still think about it. 

Now I love Beets and I am always trying to find ways to get my family to eat them... It was Icy day here in OKC so I decided to try and recreate my version of a roasted beet salad.  This is what I came up with.   My wife said it was the first time she has ever ate beets and liked them... 

I brushed the beets with Olive Oil and roasted them for 1 hour at 400 degrees
I let them cool a bit then rubbed the skin off of them and cut them into wedges.

I let them chill then placed them on top of a bed of fancy lettuce
added capers and a pink grapefruit dressing topped them off with feta cheese and candied black walnuts.
