Red Leaf Lettuce Salad with Roasted Golden Beets and Grapes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Red Leaf Lettuce Salad with Roasted Golden Beets and Grapes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a bowl and whisk together some fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, salt, and pepper.

3. Step 3

   As you whisk, slowly drizzle in olive oil until your dressing is beautifully blended and set it aside to let those flavors mingle.

4. Step 4

   Now, let’s prepare the golden beets! Trim off their leafy tops and root ends, then give each beet a gentle rub with olive oil, seasoning them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

5. Step 5

   Wrap each beet snugly in foil and place them on a baking sheet, ready for roasting.

6. Step 6

   Pop the beets into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until they’re tender enough to be pierced easily with a paring knife.

7. Step 7

   Once they’re done, carefully remove the beets from the oven and let them cool in their foil for about 10 to 15 minutes.

8. Step 8

   When they’re cool enough to handle, use a paper towel to rub off the skins—this is where the magic happens! Cut the beets into delightful chunks or slices, depending on your preference.

9. Step 9

   In a large bowl, tear the red leaf lettuce into bite-sized pieces, then add in some juicy grapes and thinly sliced red onion for a pop of color and flavor.

10. Step 10

    Gently fold in those roasted beets, making sure everything is well combined.

11. Step 11

    Finally, drizzle your homemade dressing over the salad to your liking and toss it gently until every bite is coated in that zesty goodness.

12. Step 12

    If you have any leftover dressing, store it in the refrigerator for your next culinary adventure.

    Enjoy your vibrant and delicious salad!.
