I love beets! I didn't know that I love beets until Dorie showed me how good they are when we made the Icy Beet and Onion Salad last year. Until then all I'd had was the canned stuff, and they're not very good. Nothing like a fresh beet cooked at home. I guess you could say that about most foods though.

The
Pioneer Woman's grilled flank steak accompanied the salad. The marinade was a bit too salty and next time I'll use low sodium soy sauce. All in all it was a delicious meal topped off with
Toasted Coconut Ice Cream from David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop. Wonderful!

You'll want to check out what all the
French Friday cooks thought of this week's recipe!
I am not on "team beet", but that steak sounds pretty good :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Your whole meal sounds fabulous! We order beet salad anytime we see it on a menu. Love beets!
ReplyDeleteAnd your ice cream looks and sounds delicious.
We love "The Perfect Scoop" and just made the Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream - it was like eating Raspberry Truffles! Since I adore coconut, I can't believe we haven't made this one yet - it will have to be next on the list!
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed the Beet Salad, too.
Me too , I love beets ! I have tried Dorie's Icy Beet & Onion Salad and it was good and this is even more tasty and delicious. It goes well with my pan seared salmon :) Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteit seems that the canned stuff that comes out in rippled coins were quite popular for some time!! almost everyone can remember eating them!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed to learn that there are cooked beets to be had. I never knew that. I guess instead of walking around the supermarket with my
ReplyDeletelist in hand I should look to see what else is available. The only time I bought beets was at the deli counter, and they were pickled.
That is a fabulous looking meal you put together, everything looks great. I will try the beets again sometime, but I will leave the dill
out of the recipe. I just did not care for it. Happy weekend.
Sorry, but you can't distract me with homemade ice cream at the end and expect me to remember what you were posting about. That ice cream looks delicious, I've eyed it on more than one occasion and now I think that might have to be the next ice cream I make. I just did David's Maple Ice Cream with Wet Walnuts last week and it was really good.
ReplyDeleteI think the curly greens you used with the beet salad look so pretty. I had to smile at your canned beets comment because it was exactly what I used for the sake of convenience. But that toasted coconut ice-cream!! I want some right now!
ReplyDeleteThat whole meal sounds amazing. I served the beets as a salad and considered a light Summer dinner. Wish I could have been as motivated as you!
ReplyDeleteI love this one as well, Lola. Your dinner looks wonderful and I have not made that toasted coconut ice cream from DL's book yet, but seeing it makes me want to make it right now! Hope you have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteDelicious looking dinner - the salad is probably very good with steak. I served it as an appetizer with baby swiss chard, we liked the salad too, nice change from the usual beet salad recipe I use. And your coconut ice cream looks utterly delicious, I think vanilla and coconut are my favorite flavors!
ReplyDeleteI made that ice cream and there is no better stuff. Its hard for me to look at the rest of the meal with that sitting there like that calling my name.
ReplyDeleteOh my, your meal looks delicious! I'm planning on trying his vanilla ice cream tomorrow (to go with a blueberry crumble), I'm inspired.
ReplyDeleteGuyla, Your meal looks fabulous…a nice way to accompany your beet salad! Love that toasted coconut ice cream…Yum! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI love beets too, Guyla. What a wonderful summer meal!
ReplyDeleteI loved this recipe too!
ReplyDeleteHomemade beets are awesome! I roasted mine and loved this salad too. I will definitely have to try and find the toasted coconut ice cream, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love beets, Guyla, but I would have started this meal at the end. David's Toasted Coconut Ice Cream sounds devine. I made his Mint Chocolate Ice Cream with my granddaughters last week and it was unbelievably tasty. The infusion of the mint leaves with the custard was unique. Just ordered The Perfect Scoop yesterday. Back to the beets. Delicious and I liked Dorie's other recipe also. Nice meal.
ReplyDeleteI liked the beets too, but I'm most excited by the toasted coconut ice cream. I can't believe I've had David's book for 3 years now and still haven't made it. It's moving to the top of my list!
