Method
- Tip: Beets can be prepared a day in advance.
- Roast Beets: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash beets, peel and cut off both base and top of beet. Slice beets into 1” pieces. Put beets into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, toss until pieces are evenly coated, and sprinkle with salt. Place beets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 35-40 minutes. Pierce beet pieces with a fork and remove from oven once the fork is able to fully penetrate.
- Dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Salad: Toss the romaine with two-thirds of the dressing and place on a large serving dish. Place the bacon strips on top of the salad forming a row in the middle of the salad. On one side of the bacon strips, form a row of the crumbled bacon and on the other side, form a row of the golden beets. Mix the tomato halves with the cucumber pieces and form a row at one end of the serving platter and place the ham slices on the other end. Drizzle the remaining dressing, add freshly ground pepper to taste and serve.
