Beet

Farro, an ancient variety of wheat, has a hearty texture and a nutty flavor. Here, the whole grain is tossed with bitter radicchio and earthy beets for a pretty, delicious, and healthful salad.

This recipe balances the earthy sweetness of roasted beets with tangy citrus for a salad worthy of hot-weather consumption.

Beets don't often make an appearance on the Thanksgiving table—but they should. They add an earthy sweetness to this mix of roasted vegetables.

With the first bite I realized what a marvelous dish this is. The beets and onions provide an earthy sweetness which is nicely balanced by the bitter tang of the greens.

I hate to say it, but I expected this dish to be bland. But Bon Appetit surprised me! It tasted great. However, I'd recommend a little shake of salt and pepper.

You can use red beets if golden beets are unavailable for this farfalle recipe, but your pasta will turn pink.
