BALSAMIC ROASTED BEET SALAD



Balsamic Roasted Beet Salad image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium-size beets, tops removed and scrubbed
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup good olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, such as Grey Poupon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces baby arugula
1/3 cup roasted, salted Marcona almonds, toasted
4 ounces soft goat cheese, such as Montrachet, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a sheet pan. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size, until a small sharp knife inserted in the middle indicates that they are tender. Unwrap each beet and set aside for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets with a small, sharp knife over a piece of parchment paper to prevent staining your cutting board.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside. While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the vinaigrette (warm beets absorb more vinaigrette), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings.
  • Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss it with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Put the arugula on a serving platter and then arrange the beets, almonds, and goat cheese on top. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette, if desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.

BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND BALSAMIC



Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Balsamic image

This beet salad recipe is just as pretty as it is delicious! I love to serve it when I'm entertaining. If you want to get ahead, you can roast the beets and make the dressing up to 2 days in advance and store them in the fridge. Assemble the salad just before serving.

Categories     Salad     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 to 5 medium beets
Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
2 cups salad greens (arugula or spring mix)
½ shallot (thinly sliced)
½ green apple (thinly sliced)
¼ cup toasted walnuts
2 ounces goat cheese (torn)
Microgreens (optional)
Balsamic Vinaigrette
Flaky sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Wrap each beet in a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle generously with olive oil and pinches of salt and pepper. Place the beets on a baking sheet and roast for 40 to 90 minutes, or until soft and fork-tender. The time will depend on the size and freshness of the beets. Remove the beets from the oven, remove the foil, and set aside to cool. When they are cool to the touch, peel the skins. I like to hold them under running water and slide the skins off with my hands.
  • Let the beets cool and chill them in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Assemble the salad with the greens, shallots, apples, walnuts, cheese, and microgreens, if using. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette. Season with flaky sea salt and pepper and serve.

MINTED BEET SALAD



Minted Beet Salad image

We have neighbors who share vegetables from their garden, and every year my husband and I look forward to their beets. My interest in Mediterranean food inspired this beet salad recipe-the vinegar and oil dressing with fresh mint will tone down the sweetness of the beets, and the kalamata olives add a salty touch. -Barbara Estabrook, Appleton, Wisconsin

PICKLED BEET AND HERRING SALAD



Pickled Beet and Herring Salad image

Categories     Salad     Fish     Vegetable     No-Cook     Quick & Easy     Beet     Summer     Watercress     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 first-course or light main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lb pickled herring, drained
1 (1-lb) jar sliced pickled beets, drained
1 (6-oz) bunch watercress, coarse stems discarded (4 cups sprigs)
2 medium Belgian endives, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and cores discarded

Steps:

  • Whisk together vinegar, sugar, and salt until sugar is dissolved, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking.
  • Arrange herring and beets on a platter and drizzle with half of vinaigrette.
  • Toss watercress and endives with remaining vinaigrette, then mound over herring and beets.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm beets: Look for beets that are smooth, round, and have a deep red color. Avoid beets that are bruised, wrinkled, or have soft spots.
  • Roast the beets before using them: Roasting the beets intensifies their flavor and sweetness. To roast beets, simply wrap them in foil and bake them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Use a mandoline to slice the beets: A mandoline will help you slice the beets evenly and thinly. If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to slice the beets by hand.
  • Layer the salad ring carefully: When layering the salad ring, start with a layer of beets, then a layer of feta cheese, and then a layer of walnuts. Repeat these layers until you reach the top of the ring.
  • Chill the salad ring before serving: Chilling the salad ring will help it hold its shape and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Beet salad ring is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its vibrant colors and sweet and tangy flavor, beet salad ring is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
