Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°. Wrap the beets in foil 
and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 
1 hour, until tender. Unwrap and let cool. Slip off the skins and cut the beets 
into wedges.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the oil with the lemon juice and ginger and season with salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, toss the romaine, radishes, beets and all but 2 tablespoons 
of the dressing. Transfer 
to a bowl. Top with the 
avocado and drizzle with 
the remaining dressing. Scatter the peanuts on top and serve.
