Slipping in just under the wire, my May beets:
Beets and a sweet potato, drizzled with olive oil and roasted for an hour, then peeled and chopped.
To mask the taste of the beets (clockwise from top left): avocado, pink grapefruit, snap peas, red pepper, cucumber, cheery tomatoes, red onion, strawberries.
More beet-flavour-maskers: barbecued chicken and goat cheese.
The verdict: These salads were massive. The beet to other-food ratio was approximately 1:20. The beets tasted like beets (read: sweaty ass crack) but there were enough strong flavours (the grapefruit worked particularly well) to hide it. The trick is to never eat a piece of beet by itself.

Crap, I meant to tell you that I had beets the other day and actually liked them! They were fresh, and julienned, and just used as garnish on a salad. I was totally shocked that I liked them.
Holy cow, that is a mean mince on that red onion. Tiny little onion bitlets!
And I'm with Alice- I want that salad!
Wow that salad looks so GOOD! I love how colorful it is!
Still trying the beets thing huh? Everything in that dish looks super scrumptious, well, except the beets.
You.Are.Brave.
Me, I love pickled beet root. And I love beet greens. I suppose I am big on the beets, it must be said.
Can I come for dinner? That looks delicious!
I never would have thought to pair all those crazy fruits and veggies! But it looks delicious. Except for the strawberries. Those make my mouth itch like a SOB.
