POTATO AND BEET SALAD



Potato and Beet Salad image

Every Easter my Mom would make this potato salad. This is not exactly hers but my version. Don't wait for Easter make it for your next picnic! Do use new potatoes if you like them firm but I myself like my potatoes soft so I find myself using russets, and if you don't want a precise cut salad with firm potatoes use russet. I find myself rough cutting the russets potatoes because they do fall apart and add to the creaminess of the dressing. FYI-You can toss the cubed, cooked, still warm, potatoes with the vinegar or beet juice and let set till cool even up to over night. Then add remaining ingredients.

RAW BEET SALAD

I was looking for a way to use raw beets and found a recipe online. I changed it a bit to use ingredients that I grow and use. It's so yummy and is so nutritious because the nutrition isn't cooked out of the beets. Everyone that has tried it, likes it. It's better if let set for a few hours but doesn't have to be. Serve for a cold lunch with boiled eggs on a bed of lettuce.

This jewel-colored orange and beet salad is one where I just kept adding touches until I got it just the way I want it. -Jessie Apfe, Berkeley, California

Provided by Taste of Home

Categories     Lunch

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 medium fresh beets (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 cups spring mix salad greens
2 medium oranges, peeled and sectioned
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
DRESSING:
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Scrub beets and trim tops to 1 in. Place beets on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 24x12-in.); drizzle with oil. Fold foil around beets, sealing tightly. Place on a baking sheet. Roast 55-65 minutes or until tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape., When cool enough to handle, peel and slice beets. Divide salad greens, beets and oranges among six salad plates. Sprinkle with cheese. In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients; serve with salads.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the best beets: Look for beets that are firm, smooth, and have a deep red color. Avoid beets that are wrinkled, bruised, or have soft spots.
  • Roast the beets: Roasting the beets in the oven is the best way to bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to wrap the beets in aluminum foil before roasting to prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a variety of greens: Arugula, spinach, and kale are all great choices for a beet salad. You can also use a mix of greens for a more complex flavor.
  • Add some crunch: Walnuts, almonds, and pistachios are all great ways to add some crunch and texture to a beet salad. You can also use roasted chickpeas or quinoa for a more protein-packed salad.
  • Make a simple dressing: A simple vinaigrette is the best way to dress a beet salad. You can also use a honey mustard dressing or a balsamic vinegar dressing.
  • Serve immediately: Beet salads are best served immediately after they are made. The beets will start to lose their color and flavor if they are left to sit for too long.

Conclusion:
