Tunisian-Style Roasted Beet Salad With Harissa

• 2 1/2 lbs small red beets (or golden beets, scrubbed, trimmed, peeled and cut in half-read NOTE*)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Dressing
• 1/2 cup green onion, cut thinly on the diagonal
• 1/4 cup flat-leaf Italian parsley
• 1 large garlic clove, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon homemade harissa, to taste (for a spicier version add more)
• 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar (or white balsamic)
• salt & freshly ground black pepper

1. NOTE*: If using yams or potatoes, scrub well, remove skin and cut in half or thirds depending on size.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. In small non-reactive bowl combine the salad dressing ingredients and whisk well. Set aside.
4. In a large shallow pan, toss the cut up beets lightly with the olive oil to coat. Transfer the beets to a large baking sheet and cover the baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil.
5. Bake the beets for about 30 minutes or until the beets are very tender when pierced with a fork.
6. Remove from oven, set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
7. Then cut beets into 1/2" cubes.
8. Place the prepared beets into a large salad bowl and toss lightly but thoroughly with the salad dressing to combine.
