Ingredients

How to make it

  • Beet:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Wrap the red beet and water in foil and place on a baking sheet.
  • Roast 50 minutes, then remove from foil. Cool, peel and cut into 1/4" slices. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile:

  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil, add the asparagus and cook 2 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water, drain thoroughly and set aside.
  • Using a mandoline slicer (or a very sharp knife and being very careful!), slice the candy-cane beet paper thin.
  • Julienne the carrots (I use a julienne peeler).
  • Dressing:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together oil, orange juice, and shallot.
  • Assembly:

  • Arrange a bed of tomato and roasted beet slices on the bottom of each salad plate, season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Add a pile of the carrot julienne in the centre, then arrange the asparagus around the edge, season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Finally, top with the shaved candy-cane beet.
  • Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
