Roasted Beet Kale Salad

Ingredients:

4 large beets, trimmed, scrubbed and quartered

1 large onion, diced

3 tbsp minced fresh ginger

3 cloves fresh garlic, minced (or grated.)

1/4 c olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

3 tbsp real maple syrup

1.5-2 tbsp honey dijon mustard

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/2 c fresh parlsey, roughly chopped

zest and juice of one lemon

1 small head of kale, or 4 large leaves of kale, roughly chopped

Directions:

-Preheat your oven to 450 Fahrenheit. Place your beats in a roasting dish, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil, and bake 45 mins to 1 hour, or until tender. * It is always good to do the beets before hand so they have time to cool. I used my beets when they were still a little warm, just my preference!

-Once cooled, remove the skin of the beets and chop into 1″ chunks. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan over med-high heat. Add onions, garlic, ginger and parsley. Cook until softened. Season with salt and pepper.

-Add kale to a large bowl. Add the beets, garlic and onion mixture, maple syrup, honey dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, more fresh chopped parsley and the lemon juice and zest. Serve!
