Roasted Beet Salad with Beet Greens and Feta image

Categories     Salad     Roast     Vegetarian     Feta     Beet     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
7 medium-large beets (about 3 inches in diameter) with greens
1 cup water
2 tablespoons chopped drained capers
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk oil, vinegar and garlic in small bowl to blend. Season dressing generously with salt and pepper.
  • Cut green tops off beets; reserve tops. Arrange beets in single layer in 13x9x2-inch baking dish; add 1 cup water. Cover; bake until beets are tender when pierced with knife, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Peel beets while warm. Cut beets in half and slice thinly. Transfer to large bowl. Mix in capers and 1/4 cup dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut stems off beet greens; discard stems. Wash greens. Transfer greens, with some water still clinging to leaves, to large pot. Stir over high heat until just wilted but still bright green, about 4 minutes. Drain greens; squeeze out excess moisture. Cool; chop coarsely.
  • Transfer greens to medium bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange beets in center of platter. Surround with greens; sprinkle with feta. Drizzle with any remaining dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender beets: Look for beets that are smooth and firm, with no blemishes or bruises.
  • Roast the beets: Roasting the beets concentrates their sweetness and flavor. To roast beets, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the tops and roots of the beets, then drizzle them with olive oil and salt. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a variety of greens: This salad is a great way to use up leftover greens. You can use any type of greens you like, such as arugula, spinach, kale, or romaine lettuce.
  • Make a simple dressing: The dressing for this salad is made with olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard. You can adjust the proportions of each ingredient to suit your taste.
  • Top with crumbled goat cheese: Goat cheese adds a creamy, tangy flavor to this salad. You can also use feta cheese or blue cheese.

Conclusion:

This beet salad with mixed greens is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy beets. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled meats or fish. The roasted beets add a sweet and earthy flavor to the salad, while the mixed greens provide a fresh and crunchy contrast. The simple dressing is the perfect finishing touch, bringing all the flavors together.
