Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

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:

  • 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.

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.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces goat cheese, chilled, broken into 1/2-inch chunks
Four 2-inch-diameter red or golden beets, tops trimmed
6 ounces green beans, trimmed, cut into 2-inch lengths
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups bite-size pieces butter lettuce (part of 1 head)
2 packed cups baby arugula
1/2 large Granny Smith apple, cored, cut into thin slices

Steps:

  • For the dressing: Combine the oil, vinegar, apple juice, thyme, pepper, salt and garlic in a small bowl and whisk to blend. Season with additional salt and pepper.
  • For the salad: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the goat cheese in a medium bowl. Drizzle with just enough dressing to moisten. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Wrap each beet in foil. Place the beets directly onto the oven rack and roast until tender, about 50 minutes. Eight minutes before the beets are tender, place the green beans in a pie dish. Add the oil and a pinch each salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast the green beans alongside the beets until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Remove the foil from the beets and set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut each beet into 6 to 8 wedges.
  • Combine the lettuces in a large bowl. Add the green beans and apple slices and top with the beet wedges. Sprinkle the goat cheese on top. Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss until coated.

BEET AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Beet And Goat Cheese Salad image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium beets, about 1 1/2 pounds
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more as necessary
4 to 6 cups mesclun or other greens, trimmed, washed and dried
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons sherry or balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon or 1/4 teaspoon dried
8 ounces goat cheese

Steps:

  • Peel, rinse, and quarter or slice beets. Place in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup water and the olive oil. Cook at a moderate boil, covered, until beets are tender, about 20 minutes. Add more water if pan dries out during cooking. When beets are done, uncover, raise heat to high, and cook until liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup, then cool.
  • Arrange greens on a platter. If beets are quartered, cut into small chunks. Combine cooking liquid of beets with salt, pepper, vinegar and tarragon. Taste, and add a little more olive oil or vinegar if necessary: mixture should be sharp.
  • Put beets on greens and cheese on top, or alternate cheese and beets. Drizzle dressing over all, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe beets for the best flavor and texture.
  • Roast the beets in advance to save time. They can be roasted up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
  • If you don't have time to roast the beets, you can also use pre-cooked beets, such as canned or vacuum-packed beets.
  • Use high-quality goat cheese for the best flavor. Look for a goat cheese that is creamy and has a mild, tangy flavor.
  • To make the dressing, use a good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup to the dressing for a sweeter flavor.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving. The roasted beets will start to lose their color and flavor if they sit in the dressing for too long.

Conclusion:

Gina's Beet and Goat Cheese Salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The roasted beets are tender and flavorful, and the goat cheese adds a creamy and tangy flavor. The salad is also packed with nutrients, making it a healthy choice for any meal.
