Sauteed beet greens with apple, walnuts, and balsamic
I love beet greens. They're one of my favourite things to eat, even more than the beets themselves. For this appetizer, they're paired with sweet fall apple, and topped with crunchy walnuts and a drizzle of really good balsamic. Super simple yet totally delicious.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash the beet greens well and pat them dry. For the larger leaves, remove the tough central stems. Chop the leaves into bite-sized strips.
- 2
Put a medium pan on medium heat. Add the walnuts and fry for 1 minute to toast them lightly. Don't let the nuts burn. Remove the nuts to a bowl and wipe the pan clean.
- 3
Turn the heat up to medium-high and add a splash of veg oil to the pan. Add the apples and fry for 1 to 2 minutes until they're golden brown and slightly softened.
- 4
Add the shallot and garlic to the pan. Continue frying for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the beet greens. Add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove everything to a plate. Sprinkle the toasted walnuts on top and drizzle with the balsamic.

Beet Salad Beet Salad
This beet salad is a very different (read: healthier ;) ) version of the beet salad I knew growing up in Newfoundland. It takes a bit of time in terms of prepping your ingredients (mainly the beets and carrots), but it's worth it.This is a great summer salad to serve with a BBQ, or on its own as a lunch. You can adjust the ingredient amounts for lesser portions- this salad serves approximately 6-10 servings if used as a side dish.

This is another one of those 'not so much a recipe, but an assembly of delicious things' kind of dishes. Which I love because you get great results with minimal effort. Only two components actually require cooking (the pork and the apple). You only need one frying pan (less cleanup, yay!). And the dish is done in 15 minutes, so you can get to eating asap. And you'll probably want to get eating asap, because it's really delicious. Seriously. Crispy pork, sweet apple, tart balsamic, and funky cheese...my family devoured it in no time.

Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad
Roasted beet and goat cheese salad is a pretty standard salad these days for which you can find hundreds of recipe variants. This is just how I make my own. Many recipes call for walnuts, but you won't find them in my version as I'm not a fan of nuts in salads. Making a balsamic vinaigrette really enhances the sweetness of the beets and brightens the flavors of the salad all around.

California Farm Glazed Summer Beetroot and Mandarin Dinner Salad California Farm Glazed Summer Beetroot and Mandarin Dinner Salad
April-May is the best time to plant summer beets here, tender and ripe in July, they get woody after that. We plant Detroit Red, a traditional deep red round beet, and eat the tender tops in salads. Summer beets cook quicker and are milder than winterbeets, they glaze well and pair well with mandarins in summer dinner salads. The beet juice makes a special salad dressing.#GoldenApron23

I used some of the arugula that I grow to make a salad to go with my wine.English apples are quite small, so if using a Japanese apple, you should be fine with 1/2 an apple. Blue cheese has some sodium in it already, so please adjust the amount of salt you add accordingly. I used Shropshire Blue Cheese. Recipe by KT121
