Red & Yellow Beets cooked and cubed
Coarsely chopped almonds
Fresh Dill
Aged Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Truffle Salt to taste

Simple recipe:
1. Cook beets.
2. Cool beets.
3. Cube beets.
4. Add chopped dill, aged balsamic (or balsamic reduction), and olive oil.
5. Lightly season with truffle salt.

Truffle salt is something my wife and I picked up in San Francisco. I don't know what it would exactly taste like without it, but it did pack an amazing flavor! We were pretty much so-so on beets, but my father-in-law thought these looked pretty and wanted to see if I could do something with them. Everyone was more than happy with the results. I almost wanted to add goat cheese to this. If anyone happens to replicate this recipe, let me know if you add goat cheese how it turns out!
