Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 lb small beets
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp extravirgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red onion
1/2 serrano chile, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup (1 oz) finely shredded sharp provolone cheese
2 tsp hot water
1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

Directions:

Leave root and 1 inch of stems on beets; scrub with a brush. Pierce each beet 2 times with a sharp knife. Place beets in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag, and seal halfway. Microwave at HIGH 20 minutes or until tender, rotating bag every 5 minutes. Remove bag from microwave; cool to room temperature. Remove beets from bag; reserve liquid in bag. Peel beets, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Combine reserved liquid, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add beets, onion, and serrano; toss gently to coat.
Combine ricotta, provolone, and hot water, stirring well. Sprinkle salad with basil; top with cheese mixture.
