INSTRUCTIONS
Wrap the beets together tightly in foil in 2 batches and roast them in the
middle of a preheated 350F. oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until they are tender.
The beets may be roasted 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled.
Unwrap the beets carefully and let them cool until they can be handled.
Slip the skins off the beets, cut off the stems, and cut the beets into
1/4-inch pieces. In a large bowl whisk together the vinegars, the sugar,
and salt to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the
dressing until it is emulsified. Add the beets to the bowl with two thirds
of the mint and toss the salad until it is combined well. Line 4 plates
with the lettuce leaves, divide the beet mixture among them, and sprinkle
each salad with some of the remaining mint.
Serves 4.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
