BEETS AND GOAT CHEESE ON A BED OF SPINACH



Beets and Goat Cheese on a Bed of Spinach image

I was inspired by Wolfgang Puck's iconic goat cheese and beet napoleon to make something similar, but decided on a dish that is much less elaborate. If you have time to spare, you could stack the beet slices and goat cheese rather than crumbling the goat cheese over the beets.

BABY SPINACH WITH BEETS AND GOAT CHEESE



Baby Spinach with Beets and Goat Cheese image

Categories     Salad     Cheese     Bake     Steam     Goat Cheese     Spinach     Beet     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 5-ounce bag baby spinach
2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinaigrette (page 159) or to taste
1 bunch of beets, roasted or boiled (see box), peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Place the baby spinach in a salad bowl. Add the balsamic vinaigrette and toss gently until well coated.
  • Divide the spinach among 4 shallow bowls or salad plates. Top with the beet slices and sprinkle over the crumbled goat cheese. Serve.
  • Cooking Beets
  • To prepare the beets, trim all but about 1 inch of the stems. Rinse thoroughly under cold, running water.
  • To boil beets, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the beets and return the water to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the beets are tender when pierced with a thin, sharp knife, about 20 minutes for small beets, about 30 minutes for medium beets, and 45 minutes to 1 hour for large beets. Drain the beets and transfer them to a bowl of ice water until cool enough to handle.
  • To bake beets, preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the beets in a small roasting pan and add 1/2 cup of water. Seal the pan tightly with foil and bake until the beets are tender when pierced with a thin, sharp knife, about 45 minutes for small beets, about 1 hour for medium beets, and about 1 1/4 hours for large beets (be careful when lifting the foil; don't get burned by the escaping hot steam). Remove the beets from the pan and let stand. When the beets are cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to trim the ends and slip off their skins. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold.
  • from aunt elsa's kitchen
  • Beets retain better flavor when they are boiled or baked with their skins on, but peeling them after cooking can transfer all that beautiful color right to your hands, where it doesn't look so nice. Wear kitchen gloves when peeling and chopping beets.

SAUTEED BABY SPINACH



Sauteed Baby Spinach image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound baby spinach leaves, well washed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat; add spinach. Toss until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose tender baby spinach: Look for spinach with small, tender leaves and avoid wilted or bruised leaves.
  • Prepare the beets ahead of time: Beets can be roasted or boiled in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when assembling the salad.
  • Use a good quality goat cheese: Goat cheese adds a creamy, tangy flavor to the salad. Choose a goat cheese that is soft and spreadable.
  • Make a simple vinaigrette: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard is a great way to dress the salad. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Baby spinach wilts quickly, so it's best to serve the salad immediately after it's made.

Conclusion:

This baby spinach salad with beets and goat cheese is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweetness of the beets, the tanginess of the goat cheese, and the crunchiness of the walnuts come together to create a salad that is both satisfying and refreshing. With its vibrant colors and unique flavor combination, this salad is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad recipe, give this one a try!
