Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced peeled beets
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3/4 cup purchased ranch salad dressing
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into thin 1-inch-long strips (1 cup)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin 1-inch-long strips (1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced, halved red onion
  • 1 (14-oz.) can artichoke hearts, drained, quartered
  • 4 oz. (1 cup) shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps

  • 1
    In small saucepan, combine beets and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 8 to 12 minutes or until beets are tender. Drain. Rinse with cold water to cool.

    Meanwhile, in 1 1/2-quart glass bowl, layer broccoli, 1/4 cup of the salad dressing, yellow bell pepper, cooked beets, green bell pepper, onion and quartered artichoke hearts. Top with cheese. Cover; refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

    Just before serving, top with remaining 1/2 cup salad dressing. To serve, use long-handled serving spoons to reach all layers.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Canned diced beets can be used in place of the fresh beets.
  • tip 2
    To reduce the fat in each serving of this salad by about 14 grams, use low-fat ranch dressing and reduced-fat Cheddar cheese.
  • tip 3
    A clear, straight-sided glass bowl shows off the beautiful colors of this layered salad. Garnish it with sprigs of fresh herbs and red bell pepper cut with a small flower-shaped cutter.
