The little red hearts are cut out of cooked beet to turn this simple salad into a lovely romantic Valentine’s Day appetizer. In Italy, lettuce is usually only dressed with olive oil and salt, but you can of course use another dressing. Fresh mozzarella cubes make a nice addition.
Ingredients
- 1 large beet
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
- salt to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place beet in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until beet is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
Step 2
Peel beet and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Cut out red hearts using a heart-shaped cookie cutter.
Step 3
Place salad greens in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Add beet hearts to the salad and toss. Arrange a couple of red hearts on top of the salad for serving.
