BEET SALAD WITH HORSERADISH AND FRIED CAPERS



Beet Salad With Horseradish and Fried Capers image

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 1h30m

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds small beets, trimmed and scrubbed
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for beets and frying capers
2 tablespoons salt-packed or brined capers
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons horseradish, more to taste
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sour cream
Sea salt to taste
1 clove garlic, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place beets on half of a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil. Fold the foil and seal the edges. Lay package on a baking sheet and place it in the oven. Roast until beets are tender, 45 to 60 minutes. (Test by poking a fork through the foil into a beet.) Remove from the oven. Be careful when opening the foil; steam will race out. While still warm, peel beets, then slice into wedges and place in a bowl.
  • Soak salt-packed capers for 10 minutes, drain, rinse, then pat dry. (If using brined capers, drain and pat dry.) Pour 1/2 inch olive oil into a small saucepan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot enough to toast a bread crumb in 30 seconds, add capers. Be careful; oil may sputter. Fry until capers fluff and begin to brown on edges, 30 to 60 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, horseradish and vinegar. Whisk in 1/4 cup oil, followed by sour cream. Pour half the dressing over beets; mix. Taste, adding more dressing or salt, if needed. Rub a platter with crushed garlic, then spoon on beets and sprinkle with fried capers.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm beets for the best flavor and texture.
  • Beets can be roasted, steamed, or boiled. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness, while steaming or boiling preserves their vibrant color.
  • Use a variety of colors of beets for a visually appealing salad. Golden beets and candy-striped beets add a beautiful touch of color.
  • Grate the beets with a box grater or use a food processor fitted with the shredding blade. This will ensure that the beets are evenly shredded and will help them absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the onion. This will help prevent the onion from overpowering the other flavors in the salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time and let it chill for at least 30 minutes before using. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Toss the salad gently to combine all of the ingredients without breaking up the beets.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This horseradish beet salad is a delicious and nutritious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. The combination of sweet beets, sharp horseradish, and tangy vinaigrette dressing is truly irresistible. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this horseradish beet salad a try!
