Ingredients

  • 3 small beets (about 8 ounces), with an inch of stem left on, scrubbed 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup quinoa, well rinsed 2 stalks celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup) 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (about 1 tablespoon) 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 1/3 cup snipped fresh chives, plus more for garnish 1 shallot, peeled and minced 3 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1 seedless cucumber, sliced diagonally 1 Belgian endive, leaves separated

Directions

Place beets in a small saucepan with 4 cups cold water and the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into beets goes in easily. Remove beets with a slottedspoon and cool; save 1 cup of cooking water. Peel cooled beets; cut into 1/4-inch dice.

Return reserved cooking water to saucepan and add quinoa. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 13 to 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Uncover and let cool completely.

Combine beets and quinoa with all remaining ingredients except cucumber slices and endive leaves in a small mixing bowl. Arrange on a platter and garnish with chives, cucumber slices, and endive leaves. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
