We harvested our beets this weekend.
After years of unsuccessful vegetable gardening, caused mostly by rogue deer and squirrels, we have an abundance of our summer favorites ready to harvest almost every morning. There are still adjustments and improvements to be made next year, but I've been mostly pleased with the results so far.
The beets came all at once.
After a very busy week, filled with classes and summer camps, we realized we had neglected the garden a bit, and we spent Saturday morning weeding and harvesting to find that all of the beets were popping over the top of the soil and ready for harvest.
That meant I needed to find a new recipe to try out, one that could use them all up and be enjoyed by all. As usual, Ina Garten did not disappoint. This was a very easy salad to put together, and it served as the side dish to light, oven-roasted lamb and mint meatballs.
