Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare Lemon Vinaigrette; cover and set aside.
- Lemon Vinaigrette: In a medium bowl whisk together lemon juice, shallot, mustard, lemon zest, and honey. In a steady stream, slowly whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil. Makes 2/3 cup.
- Scrub beets. Wrap each beet in Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake 1-1/2 hours or until a knife can be easily inserted into beets. Cool 20 minutes or until able to handle. Remove and discard foil. Trim off stem and root ends of roasted beets. Peel and cut into 1-inch pieces.
- In a medium bowl combine beets, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.
- In another medium bowl combine fennel, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice off the beet leaves close to the tip of the beet. Discard the beet greens. Scrub the beets thoroughly, and then loosely wrap each one in foil.
- Transfer the wrapped beets to baking sheet lined with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Roast for 50-60 minutes. Check the beets every 20 minutes or so. If they are starting to look dry or are scorching on the bottoms, dribble a tablespoon of water over the beets before rewrapping. Beets are done when a fork or skewer slides easily to the middle of the beet.
- Cool the beets until they can comfortably be handled. Hold one of the beets in a paper towel and use the edges to rub the skin away. The skin should peel away easily; if it doesn't, the beets likely need to cook for a little longer. Slice the peeled beets into wedges.
- Combine the beet wedges, mache, goat cheese, avocado, and shaved fennel on a large serving platter and drizzle with basil vinaigrette. Sprinkle the pepitas on top and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Salad: Heat oven to 400 degrees F Trim beet stems. Put beets on a large piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and seal to make a tight package. Roast beets until easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. When cool, peel them (the skins should slide right off with a bit of pressure from your fingers). Cut into wedges or slices.
- Dressing: Whisk vinegar, mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in oils to make a dressing. Stir in the shallot and thyme.
- Toss greens, beets and walnuts with dressing. Divide the salad among 4 plates, add goat cheese and serve with toasted baguette slices.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. Wrap beets loosely in foil and roast until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool, then remove skins. (You can rub them off with a paper towel.) Slice beets into thin wedges. Make dressing: Blend grapeseed oil, vinegar, honey, mustard and sesame oil in a blender on high until frothy; season with salt and pepper. Combine beets, arugula, tomatoes and fennel in a bowl; add 2 tablespoon dressing (reserve the rest); toss. Top with goat cheese.
Tips:
- Select the freshest ingredients possible. Look for beets and fennel with bright, vibrant colors and no signs of wilting or bruising. Fresh goat cheese should be soft and creamy, with a mild, tangy flavor.
- Roast the beets before assembling the salad. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the beets and caramelizes their edges, giving them a slightly smoky flavor. You can roast the beets whole or cut them into wedges or cubes.
- Thinly slice the fennel. This will help the fennel blend in with the other ingredients and make it easier to eat. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the fennel.
- Use a light hand with the dressing. The dressing should complement the flavors of the beets and fennel without overpowering them. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately. Beet and fennel salad is best served fresh. The roasted beets will start to lose their color and flavor if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Beet and fennel salad with goat cheese is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The roasted beets and fennel provide a sweet and savory flavor combination, while the goat cheese adds a tangy creaminess. This salad is also packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and potassium. If you are looking for a new salad to try, beet and fennel salad with goat cheese is a great option.
