• Preheat oven to 350°F Wrap each beet in foil and place in a pan. Bake beets for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Remove beets from oven, and slightly open each foil wrapped beet to let the steam escape from the foil.
• Allow beets to cool for about 20 minutes, or until they are cool enough for to handle. Rub off the skin then slice the beet to about 1/4 inch thick.
• Mix together oil, vinegar, and ground cumin and whisk together well. Drizzle vinagrette over beets and mix together well, be careful not to break beets up into small pieces. Sprinkle scallions and parsley over beet salad. Season with salt and pepper to your personal preference. Serve chilled.

• Fill a large saucepan with 2 inches of water; set a steamer basket (or colander) inside pan, and bring to a boil. Place beets in basket, cover pot, and reduce heat to a gentle simmer.

Cut the beets into thin slices.
• Combine beets, garlic, vinegar, oil, and 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.

CHILLED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• NOTE: The best way I've found to peel/cook beets is from Mary Winecoff's Baked Beets recipe (http://www.recipezaar.com/251586). She wraps each beet in a square of tin foil and bakes them at 400 degrees for a hour to an hour and a half. When beets are cool enough to handle, just slip the skins off.
• Slice, dice or chop the beets. I usually cube them into 1/2 size.
• Place all the remaining ingredients (except the dill) in a serving bowl, add the beets and mix gently but thoroughly.
• Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Combine beets, onion, orange juice, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and 1 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add green beans. Cook 3 minutes or until beans are crisp tender. Drain and rinse under cold water, drain. Put beans in a large bowl.
