"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
Directions:
To roast beets, wash to remove dirt, lightly scrub, cut off tops then bottoms so they sit flat. Place beets on a large foil sheet, brush with olive oil and lightly salt, then fold over foil and seal at the seams. Roast beets in a 400° oven for 45-60 minutes, or until fork tender. Set aside to cool, cut into ½” pieces and place in large bowl.
Place corn kernels into the bowl with the beets. Add lentils, cabbage, cilantro and onion/chives. Toss lightly to blend.

To make dressing: Whisk together the vinegar and mustard in a small bowl. Keep whisking while slowly drizzling in olive oil and sesame oil. Whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add dressing to salad, toss, cover and refrigerate for at least a couple hours before serving.
