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.
MARINATED BEET SALAD
A delicious salad for any occasion. If you are lucky enough to live where you can get fresh lettuce in December this would be fantastic on a Christmas table. Don't be squeamish about onions and raisins, they go really well together. I have seen similar receipts in Polish and Finnish cookbooks.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets on aluminum foil; toss with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Seal foil, and place on a baking sheet. Roast until tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly, then peel and cut into quarters.
- Place vinegar in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, pour remaining 1/4 cup oil in a steady stream until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Add beets and chives; gently toss to combine. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe beets. If you can't find fresh beets, you can use canned beets, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
- To make the marinade, you can use any type of vinegar you like. White vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and balsamic vinegar are all good choices.
- If you don't have any Stilton cheese, you can use another type of blue cheese, such as Roquefort or Gorgonzola.
- To save time, you can roast the beets in advance. Just wrap them in foil and roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until they are tender.
- This salad is best served fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
This marinated beet and Stilton salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beets are sweet and earthy, the Stilton cheese is sharp and tangy, and the walnuts add a nice crunch. This salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
