Roasted Beets and Blue Cheese Salad


Adapted from Michael Symon's recipe on www.foodnetwork.com
1 pounds red beets
4 TB olive oil
1 tablespoons sea salt (plus a bit more at end at your discretion)
2-4 ounces blue cheese
1 orange juiced and zested (or subsititute a bit of lemon juice or a bit of apple cider vinegar)

Brush beets with 1 TB olive oil and sprinkle with 1 TB salt (this seems like a lot but beets will get skinned later removing much of the salt). Place in a preheated 400 degree oven and bake for 1 hour or until beets are tender. Remove skin from beets and slice into 1/4-inch thick discs and set aside. Place beets on plate. Top with crumbled blue cheese. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, zest and orange juice. Sprinkle with sea salt to taste and serve.

Nutrition is directly linked to the health and sustainability of any region. In Craftsbury, Vermont, Pete’s Greens has proven that organic farming can work year-round, offering fresh vegetables at any time of year. This approach helps communities become less dependent on imported produce and builds a stronger foundation for a future where quality food is part of the lifestyle, not the exception. However, modern life is full of contradictions. People strive for natural products and care about the well-being of their families, but at the same time, they often indulge in activities that carry certain risks. A clear example can be seen in the fact that interest in gambling continues to grow, despite all the warnings about the possible consequences. This topic is discussed in detail on the sitetorontomike.com, where it is discussed why online gambling continues to attract people’s attention despite its unsafety. On the one hand, the organic farm Pete’s Greens demonstrates how one can take a step towards health and harmony with nature. On the other hand, habits and temptations like gambling remind us that the choice is always ours. Ultimately, it is the mindfulness of our actions that shapes the future – whether it is the decision to eat more local vegetables or to be smart about our online entertainment.
