BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE, GREEN APPLE, AND HONEY



Beet Salad with Goat Cheese, Green Apple, and Honey image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds red beets, tops removed and scrubbed
8 ounces baby Chioggia beets, tops removed and scrubbed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or safflower oil
3 tablespoons pure honey
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon plus 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 green apple
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, coarsely crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
2 cups sprouts or microgreens, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place red beets in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer and add enough water to come three quarters of the way up sides of beets. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and drizzle with grapeseed oil. Cover with foil and bake until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Transfer beets to a cutting board. When just cool enough to handle, remove skins, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and transfer to a bowl.
  • Meanwhile, place baby beets in small saucepan and cover with 2 inches cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. Drain beets; when just cool enough to handle, remove skins; cut into halves or wedges, depending on size; and transfer to another bowl.
  • Whisk together honey, olive oil, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing; divide remaining dressing between bowls of warm beets; toss beets to coat.
  • Halve lemon and squeeze juice into a bowl of cold water; drop lemon halves in it. Peel apple, cut into small pieces (you should have about 1 cup), and submerge in lemon water. When ready to serve, drain apple and blot dry. Arrange beets on a serving platter and drizzle with reserved dressing. Top with apple, goat cheese, and sprouts and serve immediately.
