Beet and Onion Salad

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub beets and wrap them in a large sheet of foil. Seal them tightly. Put the package on a baking sheet. Cut the onions into bite-size pieces. Put them in a baking pan and toss with 2 Tbs. olive oil. Put the beet package and the pan of onions side-by-side in the oven. Bake 1 hour or until beets are tender and onions are browned. Let beets cool. Peel off the skins and cut them in wedges. In a large bowl, toss beets and onions with 1/4 C. olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
