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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds red beets, tops removed and scrubbed
8 ounces baby Chioggia beets, tops removed and scrubbed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or safflower oil
3 tablespoons pure honey
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon plus 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 green apple
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, coarsely crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
2 cups sprouts or microgreens, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place red beets in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer and add enough water to come three quarters of the way up sides of beets. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and drizzle with grapeseed oil. Cover with foil and bake until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Transfer beets to a cutting board. When just cool enough to handle, remove skins, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and transfer to a bowl.
  • Meanwhile, place baby beets in small saucepan and cover with 2 inches cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. Drain beets; when just cool enough to handle, remove skins; cut into halves or wedges, depending on size; and transfer to another bowl.
  • Whisk together honey, olive oil, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing; divide remaining dressing between bowls of warm beets; toss beets to coat.
  • Halve lemon and squeeze juice into a bowl of cold water; drop lemon halves in it. Peel apple, cut into small pieces (you should have about 1 cup), and submerge in lemon water. When ready to serve, drain apple and blot dry. Arrange beets on a serving platter and drizzle with reserved dressing. Top with apple, goat cheese, and sprouts and serve immediately.

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.

Provided by Jeanine Donofrio

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.

BEET AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Beet and Goat Cheese Salad image

Provided by Christine Muhlke

Categories     easy, salads and dressings

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds (3 medium) red beets
1 1/2 pounds (3 medium) yellow beets (red beets may be substituted)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons aged balsamic vinegar
4 ounces fresh soft goat cheese
Fleur de sel
Four-Pepper Mix or freshly ground black pepper
12 nasturtium leaves, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Rinse the beets and pat dry. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and wrap individually in aluminum foil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and cook until fork-tender, 75 to 90 minutes. While still warm, cool, peel the beets and cut into wedges. In a large bowl, toss them with extra-virgin olive oil and vinegar.
  • Scoop the goat cheese into the middle of a large serving platter. Arrange the beets and their dressing on top and around the cheese. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and four-pepper mix to taste. If you choose, garnish with nasturtium leaves.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe beets. Look for beets that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises.
  • If you don't have a vegetable peeler, you can use a sharp knife to peel the beets.
  • To save time, you can grate the beets in a food processor. Just be sure to use the grating disc with the largest holes.
  • If you're short on time, you can roast the beets in the oven instead of boiling them. Just toss the beets with a little olive oil and salt, and roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until they're tender.
  • To make the salad dressing, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • For a more flavorful salad, add some crumbled goat cheese and chopped walnuts.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

This beet salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this root vegetable. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled meats or fish. The combination of sweet beets, tangy goat cheese, and crisp green apples is sure to please everyone at your table.
