Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Trim roots and stems from the beets and pierce with a fork; wrap in foil and bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until tender. Cool then peel beets and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
Combine chives and next 6 ingredients (through mustard) in a small bowl. Combine cherry tomatoes with a large tablespoon of the mustard mixture and toss to coat. Divide sliced beets and sliced tomatoes evenly among 6 salad plates. Drizzle each with about 3 tsp. of the mustard mixture. Top each serving evenly with the cherry tomato mixture and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
