- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 3 beets (about 12 ounces)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups Golden Delicious apples (peeled and cubed)
- 1 tablespoon cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon queso fresco (crumbled)
- 1/4 cup yellow onion (sliced)
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Rub canola oil on beets. Pierce a few holes in beets to speed up the cooking process. Place beets in a small baking dish and cover with foil. Roast beets for 1 hour 10 minutes, until you can easily pierce the beet with a fork.
3. Remove from oven and place beets into a bowl with ice water. This will cool down the beets, stop the cooking process, and make removing the skins easier. When beets are cooled, peel off skins with a paper towel. Cut beets into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.
4. Add avocado oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to a bowl and whisk briskly for 30 seconds to create your dressing. Set aside.
5. In a separate bowl, add apples, 2 cups beet cubes, cilantro, queso fresco, and onions, and toss gently. Add dressing and toss once more. Now it’s ready to serve.
