Thanksgiving is all about eating and usually in abundance. Try using recipes with lots of fresh herbs, spices and seasonal fruits and vegetables. Prepare a turkey or grill fish.

BEETS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND CITRUS HONEY VINAIGRETTE

Prep time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: 6 minutes. Serves: 4 – 6
4 Beets, 2 gold, 2 red
4 oz goat cheese
¼ cups almonds or walnuts, halved
Frisee or mâche leaves

Dressing:
Juice of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 orange
Juice of 1 lime
1 Tbsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 shallot finely diced
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut off the top and bottom of the beets. Wrap the beets in foil. Make sure they are thoroughly wrapped.

Place the foil packet of beets in a baking dish on the middle oven rack. Cook for 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the beets, until the tip of a knife inserts easily. Cool. Using a knife, remove the skin. Slice or cut
as desired.

For the dressing, combine all ingredients. (You should have about 1/2 cup combined juice from the orange, lemon, and lime.) Whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper; add additional olive oil, if desired.

Place the beets, one or two pieces of each color on a plate, spoon on goat cheese. Add almonds, and a few leaves of frisee and mâche, watercress or flat leaf parsley. Pour over dressing and serve.
