Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Wash the fresh beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until tender. Once cooked, drain and let them cool.

  2. 2

    Peel and Slice

    Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them using your hands or a vegetable peeler. Cut the beets into thin slices or cubes, depending on your preference.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced beets with the dressing until evenly coated. Crumble the pecorino cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil if desired, and serve immediately.
