Categories     appetizer

Time 2h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 pound beets, ends trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/3 cup pine nuts
4 ounces goat cheese
4 cups baby greens
4 cups baby spinach
Tarragon Dressing, recipe follows
4 very thin slices red onion, separated
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Wash and dry the beets and trim off the ends. Take a large sheet of aluminum foil, 12 by18, and double it over. Put the beets in the middle, drizzle with olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Bring the sides of the foil up around the beets to make a pouch. Put in the hot oven and bake until the beets are tender, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. When cool enough to handle, gently peel off the skin and slice into julienne pieces, about 2 inches long by 1/2-inch thick. Chill until ready to use.
  • Lightly toast the pine nuts in a small saute pan over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate or small bowl and cool. Slice the goat cheese into 1/2-inch rounds and press the pine nuts onto both sides. Chill until service.
  • When ready to serve, lightly toss the baby greens and the spinach together in a large bowl and dress the edge of your serving bowl with 1/4 cup of the Tarragon Dressing. Toss the greens and then top with the beets and the goat cheese rounds. Drizzle with additional dressing and serve immediately.
  • In a small bowl or glass jar, combine all the ingredients, except the olive oil. Whisk until well h well combined, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This recipe works really well with a stick blender.

ROASTED-BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND WALNUTS



Roasted-Beet Salad With Goat Cheese and Walnuts image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large or 6 medium beets
3/4 cup walnuts
6 cups torn greens, one type or an assortment
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces goat cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400. Wash the beets, and while they are still wet, wrap them individually in foil. Put them on a rimmed baking sheet and cook, undisturbed, until you can pierce them easily with a thin-bladed knife, 60 to 90 minutes. Once the beets have cooled, peel them (I like to rub the skin off under running water), and cut them into chunks.
  • Put the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until fragrant and beginning to darken, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Rinse and dry the greens and put them in a large bowl; add the walnuts. Combine the oil, vinegar, shallot and Dijon in a jar with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Screw the lid on tightly and shake vigorously until the dressing becomes thick and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Pour some of the dressing onto the greens and toss to coat; pile the greens on 4 plates. Put the beets in the bowl, toss with some of the dressing and arrange them on top of or around the greens. Crumble the goat cheese on top, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for baby beets that are small and tender, with smooth skin and no blemishes.
  • Roast the beets: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the beets and makes them easier to peel.
  • Use a variety of greens: Arugula, spinach, and watercress are all great choices for this salad.
  • Make a simple dressing: A simple dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard will complement the flavors of the beets and greens.
  • Add some crunch: Roasted nuts, seeds, or crumbled goat cheese will add a nice crunch to the salad.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made, as the beets will start to lose their color and flavor if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Baby beet salad with rocket and goats' cheese is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The beets are roasted until tender and sweet, and the rocket and goats' cheese add a nice peppery and tangy flavor. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be made with just a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
