Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium beets
5 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste

BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE, GREEN APPLE & HONEY RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Beet Salad with Goat Cheese, Green Apple & Honey Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by LRay

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 & 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 grape seed 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.

Tips for Making Apple Beet Salad:

  • Choose fresh, crisp apples and beets for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady, to add different flavors and textures to the salad.
  • Be sure to peel the beets before grating them, as the skin can be tough and unappetizing.
  • If you don't have a grater, you can use a food processor to shred the beets and apples.
  • To save time, you can use pre-shredded beets and apples from the grocery store.
  • Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and flavor. Some good options include walnuts, pecans, almonds, or sunflower seeds.
  • If you like a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
  • For a tangier salad, add a tablespoon or two of vinegar to the dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Apple beet salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. The salad is also very versatile, and it can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and refreshing salad, give apple beet salad a try!
