Fresh roasted beets over a bed of baby spinach with tomatoes, avocados, onions and feta cheese drizzled with a balsamic dressing. You can cut this recipe in half for 4 servings, though it so good the next day too that I always make plenty.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large beets, trimmed
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package baby spinach leaves
2 tomatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and cut into bite-sized pieces
½ red onion, chopped, or to taste
1 (4 ounce) container crumbled feta cheese
½ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place the beets into a large bowl, and drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Lay out 2 large squares of aluminum foil on a work surface, and place 3 beets onto the center of each sheet. Fold the aluminum foil into 2 envelopes, sealing the beets into the packets; place the packets into a baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Check for tenderness after 1 hour by piercing a beet with a fork. Open the foil, and allow the beets to cool until they can be handled; peel, and slice.
  • Lay out the spinach leaves on an attractive oblong-shaped serving platter. Sprinkle pieces of tomato and avocado over the spinach leaves, and top with chopped red onion. Lay the sliced warm beets over the salad, and top with crumbled feta cheese.
  • Whisk together balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup of olive oil, and Dijon mustard until smooth; pour over the salad to serve.

Categories     Vegetables

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c diced pickled beets
1 granny smith apple, small dice
1/4 c mayonnaise
1 tsp dijon mustard
white pepper, for seasoning
thyme sprigs - about 4
apple cider vinegar, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium glass bowl, combine the beets, apples, mayonnaise, and mustard. Add stemmed thyme leaves to taste. If beets are too sweet, add a splash of the apple cider vinegar.
  • 2. If you like a creamier salad, you can add a bit more mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • 3. To serve, season with kosher salt and white pepper, stirring gently. Garnish with thyme stems. Will keep refrigerated for 2-3 days, covered.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked beets. You can find them in the canned food section of most grocery stores.
  • If you are using fresh beets, scrub them well and then boil them until they are tender. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel and dice them.
  • Use a variety of colors of beets to create a more visually appealing salad. Red, golden, and candy-striped beets are all available at most grocery stores.
  • Beets can be roasted, steamed, or sauteed. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness, while steaming or sauteing preserves their more earthy flavor.
  • If you are using goat cheese, crumble it before adding it to the salad. This will help it distribute evenly.
  • Add a variety of nuts or seeds to the salad for added crunch and flavor. Walnuts, pecans, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all good choices.
  • Drizzle the salad with a vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, mustard, and honey. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

Beet salad is a healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The earthy flavor of beets pairs well with a variety of other ingredients, making it a versatile salad that can be customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a simple salad to serve at a weeknight dinner or a more elaborate dish to impress your guests, beet salad is a great option.
