Radicchio, beet and onion with whole grain mustard

My adventure with beets started in Texas. That’s where I began exploring greens, beets and goat cheese together. This dish boasts a lot of powerful flavors, and health benefits, while at the same time providing these subtle hints of earth from the beets, sweetness from the yams and a great nutty flavor from the walnuts that contrast well with the onions and whole grain Dijon.

Great for a picnic of fresh whole grain bread, hummus and a glass of Riesling.
