Beets Seen in a Whole New Light
This cold, layered salad makes terrific dinner-party fare; or, you can skip the assembly and just spoon it onto a plate for a weeknight supper, taking a more easygoing approach to eating the components. Either way, you've got a delicious lineup of ingredients: farro, yellow beets, avocado, tofu and frisée lettuce, mixed with a horseradish-dill dressing that's spiked with some traditional beef tartare ingredients: briny capers and Dijon mustard. Endive leaves and crackers give the dish a welcome crunch and serve as edible utensils.
