My sister-in-law recently introduced me to these ready cooked beets she found at Costco. All you have to do is open the package and slice them up any way you want! If you want them warmed up no problem, just boil them or warm in the microwave. Each container at Costco comes with 4 packages that each contain 3 cooked beets. The expiration date is months away so you have a lot of time to use them up. I love beets but don’t usually buy them as the thought of having to roast them is one extra step of work I don’t want to do.
Below I have listed 5 easy and delicious recipes to make with beets.
I promise you will be as surprised as I was at how great beets taste with everything.
Beet, Orange, and Feta Salad with Sunflower Seeds
This delicious mushroom and arugula salad, with just the right amount of parmesan cheese, is the perfect balance of flavours and temperatures. I love the warm mushrooms resting on the crunchy cool arugula. The mushrooms can be made in advance. Toss everything together at the last minute for an impressive, yet super easy salad. Use any assortment of mushrooms you want.
Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 375.
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and parmesan cheese, and then spread them evenly over parchment paper.
Bake 15 minutes or until parmesan cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, mix dressing ingredients together in a small dish.
Right before serving, toss arugula with salad dressing, place mushrooms on top.
This salad looks great served on a platter or served individually.
If you like, add grilled chicken to make it a main meal.
(Makes 4 servings as an appetizer or 2 main course portions.)
