One of my fave dishes on the menu right now is the Roasted Beets Salad. It is out of this world with arugula and burrata cheese. In case you're looking for a little something special to whip up this weekend we've included the recipe below. Hope you enjoy!

Whipped olive oil: place shallot, lemon juice, water, in blender and mix on high for 30 seconds. Then slowly drizzle in olive oil. It should get thick and creamy, season w/salt.
To plate arrange beets on plate, top each beet with cheese, spoon whipped olive oil on cheese and around plate. Toss arugula with oil, salt and pepper, and sprinkle leaves over salad.
On that note I think it's time for a snack...famous last words. I am so looking forward to the 4th--the Chef is off that day and we're going to mix cocktails, grill our faves and sun all day long. Pure bliss! Any special plans on your agenda? All I know is the holiday traffic started up yesterday afternoon when it took 45 minutes to go 4 miles and there wasn't an accident in sight. *practices deep breathing* 'Tis the season of the tourist so look for me losing my beans when I'm late yet again, or better yet just putting myself on lockdown with the margarita blender. Now there's a plan...

Keep me updated on the cocktail testing and send someone out here to make me this salad. Thank you.
Ok I was leaving you a comment about cocktails while you left me a comment about cocktails. Sign? I think so. (We're meeting up in Vegas if I ever plan that vacation, right? From what I hear there's plenty of cocktails to be had there.)
Katie we would tear Vegas to the ground. Or at least the cocktail waitresses.

The salad looks divine!

Carrie the Cocktail Tester. You should definitely get that sorted out immediately.
Beetroot is one of my favourites but I've never heard of burrata. The salad looks pretty good though.
Happy Canada Day!
OK You learn something new every day if you blog. I never knew there was such a thing as a yellow beet. Of course I live in Tennessee, where the dried bean and green dinner is king. But I'm surely going to look for these. Also I haven't seen fresh red beets either. I need to look in a specialty food store we have here. The salad looks worth the work.
Oh wow- I'm going to be craving this now!! Looks delicious. Might have to make it this weekend. I certainly have a weakness for burrata. XO
That salad sounds so unique... The thought of it is really making me wish I could visit the chefs restaurant and see what else is on the menu.
Hope you have a great weekend, and happy Canada day!
not a big beet fan...looks interesting though :)

That looks so good!! but I wouldn't like it...hahaha

It's so funny, I was just searching beet recipes the other day and now they are popping up everywhere. I love beets! I do not love, or miss, socal holiday traffic!
Carrie, does Chef know you are sharing his secret recipes w/ the world? hee hee. Rest your wrist this weekend, grill away, and see some fireworks! I think I am heading up to Maine for a little getaway. xo
The salad looks scrumptious!
Happy Canada Day. :)
This looks so delicious! Your plans for the 4th sound perfect. I hope you enjoy being together and relaxing! My husband and I are heading west for a little vacay, can't wait!
this makes me hungry, looks so healthy and organic!! love the colors, yummie<3

YUM! Sounds delicious! Have a great weekend :)
PS - Would love to see you link up Wednesday on my "Let's Be Adventurers" bar crawl! xo
Carrie,
...weekend of nothing... I love that! I hope you have fun this weekend.
The images are yummy!
yum! i am such a fan of beets!
Oh yum! I just had a beet salad and loved it!
Sorry about the carpel tunnel. You know what is really interesting, though? When you get surgery to fix it a neurosurgeon does it. I don't know if they always do it, but it is a surgery they do do on top of brain and spinal issues. Which I think is weird but I guess it's the norm.
thanks for commenting on my post please stop by again!
that looks amazingly delicious! i'm so trying this. correction, i'm passing this along to dannon so he can make this for me {i'm not being a spoiled brat, it's just our arrangement that if i find something healthy that looks good he will make it. he's so excited to make me healthier}. i hope you have an amazing weekend full of relaxing, laughing, and zero crazy neighbors.
Sounds like a perfect plan... So glad that you get to enjoy the holiday together!! (lounging, eating & drinking... just what we'll be up to :))
I LOVE his site!!
Kudos on being able to sit still. I haven't perfect that skill yet. I have been trying over the past couple of days because I have felt like dick, but even then I feel like I constantly have to move.

Very cool post! I am going to have to try your recipe this weekend.
I am thinking of starting my own blog and I have been visiting different ones for inspiration. I have just posted my very first blog at www.lemonsandlaundry.blogspot.com
My older sis was kind enough to let me be a guest blogger. Check it out and let me know what you think!

This is my absolute favorite kind of salad! I am overly obsessed with burrata and love beets! Yummy Carrie! Happy 4th of July weekend. xx
My lord this looks heavenly. I am making this this weekend. Goodness!
you had me at burrata and bees. Now I'm definitely carting my ass down there for this (and you of course!)..yummmm.
That salad looks INSANE. And the website for the Chef's restaurant looks amazing -- I want to try everything on the menu!

YUM. This is a combination of many of my favorite things. I roasted beets yesterday (with baby yukon potatoes, carrots, garlic, and onion) and my goodness they were delish--ate it over arugula, too! Thank goodness it's summertime. Cocktail Taster sounds like a perfect "job"--keep us posted on your faves.
Well considering I am coming down tomorrow...that is not good news. Traffic blows and it blows even more on the fourth!I will have to have extra cocktails when I get there to take the edge off! xoxo
Super excited!

The boy loves his beets, we are going to try this...if I can find that cheese that I've never heard of :)
It's definitely very pretty! Oh no..traffic is not my thing.
ooh yum!
Holy mother of God! This looks amazing! I'm really, really exceedingly jealous of you for having the Chef. Like, I couldn't think of a better perk of dating! And he can hook you up with a job at his restaurant as the Chief Cocktail Taster! Genius!
This looks delicious! I love beets and burrata but never thought to put the two together. What a great summer salad! :)
xo
Oh my - thank you for this! I saw beets yesterday at the market and wondered how I could cook them.
Thanks for the sweet wishes on my hard weekend (which actually got worse!) and hope you have a good time despite the tourists!

Margaritas and yummy salads. Wish I could partake of that too.
Re: denim jackets, glad you cleared that up :) Working at Gap must've been murder....for your salary!
Cocktail testing sounds like the perfect way to spend the day ~ we had the best week-end ~ busy but good. Have a great week and take care of that wrist. xo
This looks so yummy!!
I always need new salad ideas. I know I'd love this one! I get stuck in a rut when it comes to salads.
I hope you had a great, relaxing 4th! How are your hands doing? I hope better!
xo
No special plans, just a nice relaxing day :)
I hope you had a great Fourth. And the beets with burrata look delicious.
