Author Notes
It's the prettiest thing you will ever eat. The beets lend their color to their neighbors. The cleansing vinegar washes over your palate as you savor the chew of the bread and the silkiness of roasted root vegetables. Filling, hearty and packed with vitamins, this dish is a vegetable double rainbow. If you want, add a dollop of goat cheese on top of the salad or a small handful of fresh greens like arugula, watercress or frisee.
