WILD ARUGULA AND BEET SALAD WITH ORANGE, WALNUTS AND TARRAGON



Wild Arugula and Beet Salad With Orange, Walnuts and Tarragon image

This is a salad filled with contrasting sweet and peppery flavors. Pungent wild arugula contrasts beautifully with sweet beets, anisy tarragon and juicy oranges. If you can find purslane, it makes a great addition to the salad, with its earthy flavor and almost juicy, delicate crunch. You can use a mix of colors for the beets. I roasted golden and red beets together, and the red beets bled into the outside layer of the golden beets, making their color striking in the salad.

Tips:

  • Select fresh and crisp ingredients: Use young and tender arugula and green beans for the best flavor and texture.
  • Wash produce thoroughly: Rinse the arugula and green beans under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Blanch the green beans: This quick cooking method helps preserve their vibrant color and crispness. Simply blanch the green beans in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a nutty aroma to the salad. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The walnut oil dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Toss the salad just before serving: This prevents the arugula from wilting and helps keep the salad fresh and crisp.

Conclusion:

This arugula and green bean salad with walnut oil dressing is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The peppery arugula, crisp green beans, crunchy walnuts, and tangy dressing come together to create a refreshing and satisfying salad that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a light lunch, a side dish, or a main course, this salad is sure to be a hit.
