Preparation Steps
- 1
Roast the Beets
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, layer a thick bed of salt to prevent the beets from touching the pan. Place the beets on top, then cover them completely with the remaining salt. Roast for about 45-60 minutes, until tender. Let cool, then peel and chill.

Prepare the Gorgonzola Mousse
In a mixing bowl, combine the gorgonzola cheese and heavy cream. Use a hand mixer to whip until light and fluffy. Adjust seasoning with black pepper to taste. Set aside.

Assemble the Dish
Slice the chilled beets and arrange them on a serving plate. Drizzle with olive oil, then spoon the whipped gorgonzola mousse over the beets. Top with diced green apples and chopped pistachios for crunch.
