Roasted Beet And Yellow Tomato Salad With Goat Ricotta And Basil

• For the Roasted Beets:
• 4 medium sized beets
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• For the Salad:
• 2 large yellow tomatoes
• Olive oil
• Goat ricotta (or other goat's milk, crumbly cheese)
• Fresh basil

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut the stems off of fresh beets. Using a brush, scrub all of the dirt off of the beets. Remove top and bottom.
2. Add the beets, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to a bowl. (The vinegar can be omitted, but really helps set in the color of the beets.) Toss beets in the mixture.
3. Place beets in tin foil and make sure it is sealed entirely. Roast for about 45 minutes, or until a knife will go through with ease.
4. Allow beets to cool, then peel of the skin using a paring knife, taking care to maintain the shape of the beet. Cut into thin slices. Cut tomatoes into 1/4" thick slices.
5. On a plate, arrange beets and tomatoes. Lightly drizzle olive oil. Add your basil (you can use whole leaves or chiffonade) and your goat cheese. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Can be made 1 hour prior to serving. Keep refrigerated.
