Feast your eyes on this beauty!  I did not make this lovely and delicious salad.  You can have it yourself at The Tin Table at the Century Ballroom on Capitol Hill.    It’s made with arugula, roasted golden beets, grana padana, and sherry vinaigrette.  To me, a restaurant’s salad is the litmus test for the rest of the menu.   This well-excecuted salad, with its  fluffy shaved cheese and well-balanced vinaigrette, perfectly foreshadows other amazing dishes here.   I had the mahi-mahi tacos on this night as well.  Total bliss.

    Hooray for The Tin Table! I LOVE golden beets, but have NEVER, EVER seen them available for sale!

    I know what you mean, Stacey! I have seen them at the store, but it has been rare, for some reason. Hey, maybe I should plant some myself!
