Method
Preparation of Ingredients
- 1
Prepare the Strawberries
Wash the fresh strawberries under running water. Remove the stems and slice them in half.

Prepare the Beets
If using store-bought marinated beets, drain them and cut into small cubes. If making marinated beets from scratch, boil beets until tender, peel, and marinate in a mixture of vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper for at least 1 hour.

Prepare the Corn
Roast the corn by placing it on a grill or in an oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. Once cool, cut the kernels off the cob.

Prepare the Aged Cheddar
Cube or shred the aged cheddar cheese based on preference for the salad.
