Roasted Beet and Tatsoi Salad

This is a very light and healthy salad bursting with flavor and color. It can be served at room temperature or prepared in advance and served slightly chilled. It is very easy to make but the beets take some time to cook.

2 T extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch of tatsoi
1 t orange zest
1 T red wine vinegar

3. Roast beets again for 20 minutes, stirring half way in between. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.

4. Cut tatsoi bunch into three pieces. Steam for 2 minutes and then place in cold water bath to stop the cooking.
5. While beets and tatsoi are cooling, mix remaining T of olive oil, red wine vinegar and orange zest together. Toss vegetables and dressing together.
