My Favorite Salad: Beets & Blue Cheese

March 7, 2004 by Jocelyn Leave a Comment

I love the earthy flavors of beets and blue cheese together.

Baby arugula and spinach leaves
Slivered beets – cook ‘em and then cut them up yourself if you have the time; if not, buy the kind that are canned whole – they taste less watery.
Blue cheese (I like Great Hill Blue, English Stilton, Gorgonzola Picante, or Valdeon in this application.)
Salad dressing – I am perfectly happy with a classic vinaigrette, a balsamic dressing, blue cheese dressing (you can never have too much blue cheese) or even plain ol’ ranch. Just don’t drown the greens.

What’s All This Then?

I’m Jocelyn. I’m disabled by myalgic encephalomyelitis and have been varying gradations of bedridden since 2007. Cooking boldly-flavored vegetarian food frequently featuring legumes is my idea of the most enjoyable use of the twenty minutes total per good day that I can be upright.

Before I became disabled, I spent twelve years in the food business as a cheesemonger, tiny cog in a vast cereal company machine, and marketing analyst/jill-of-all-trades at a stone fruit commodity group. Right this way →

With my chronic illness I can't keep a precise posting schedule, so how about a monthly email?

Thanks!
