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.

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.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds beets, peeled and cut into wedges
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
Three 4-ounce goat cheese logs, cut into 12 slices
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Pinch sugar
12 cups mixed greens

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Spread the beets on a baking sheet. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, rosemary and some salt and pepper. Reserve one-quarter of the dressing for the salad and pour the rest over the beets. Roast until the beets are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • While the beets are cooking, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Coat the goat cheese slices first in the flour, then in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs. Fry the slices until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 2-inch-diameter beets, tops trimmed
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup walnut oil or olive oil
1 1/2 pounds firm but ripe plums, pitted, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium-size red onion, sliced into rings
1 1/2 6-ounce bags fresh baby spinach leaves
8 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Wrap beets tightly in foil packages (3 beets in each). Place on baking sheet. Roast beets until tender, turning packages occasionally, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Unwrap beets; cool completely. Peel beets and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place in large bowl.
  • Combine vinegar and sugar in blender. Gradually blend in vegetable oil, then walnut oil. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. (Beets and vinaigrette can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover separately; refrigerate. Let beets stand 2 hours at room temperature before continuing. Rewhisk vinaigrette before using.)
  • Toss beets with 1/4 cup vinaigrette. Toss plums and onion with § cup vinaigrette in another large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Overlap beets around edge of platter. Mound spinach in center of platter; drizzle with some vinaigrette. Spoon plums and onion over salad. Sprinkle with goat cheese and serve.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked beets. You can find them in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
  • If you can't find fresh plums, you can use dried plums (prunes). Just be sure to soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
  • For a more tangy salad, use goat cheese instead of feta cheese.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, wait to add the avocado until just before serving. This will prevent it from turning brown.
  • Serve the salad with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as basil or mint.

Conclusion:

This beet salad with plums and goat cheese is a delicious and healthy side dish or lunch option. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a new salad recipe to try, give this one a try.
