Looking for new ways to eat roasted beets? This beet tartare is a fun vegetrian riff on the classic French appetizer. The recipe here mimics the tartare preparation by chopping roasted beets with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. You then mound it onto endive leaves and top it all off with crème fraîche and dill. You get the same textures as the beef version but it's much healthier—not to mention, much safer to deal with beets than raw beef! Serve it as a first course for your next dinner party and you'll be sure to impress.

My wife talked me in to trying this recipe, and I surprisingly really enjoyed it. I always had beats that were roasted, but this version with the crème fraiche was amazing. It all works well together.

Greg Jones says:

I love the earthiness of the roasted beets. This recipe has great flavor and texture. I made it for a date night and it was a real treat for my wife. We both loved it very much.
