INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat oven to 250'F. Peel beets and cut into 1/4-inch cubes. In separate
bowls, toss beets and garlic each with 1 T olive oil and 1/2 t pepper. On
rimmed baking sheet, place beets on one side and garlic on the other; cover
tightly with aluminum foil. Roast 25 minutes or until tender.
2. Meanwhile, make croutons: Cut bread into 1/4-inch pieces. Brush with
olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange on another baking sheet and
place in oven until toasted-about 15 minutes.

wilt-no more than 1 minute. (If there is not enough room in skillet, do
this step in 2 batches.) Add 1/4 C Sherry Vinaigrette to salad and toss.
Divide onto 4 serving plates; garnish with croutons. Serve immediately,
passing remaining Sherry Vinaigrette separately.
