MâCHE AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH BEETS AND WALNUT VINAIGRETTE



Mâche and Radicchio Salad With Beets and Walnut Vinaigrette image

Of all the greens I worked with this week, mâche has the sweetest, mildest flavor. It goes nicely with the bitter radicchio, sweet beets and the nutty vinaigrette. Mâche is so delicate that it takes very little dressing.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 1- to 1 1/2-inch-diameter beets, tops trimmed to 1 inch
Vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups semi-pearled farro or wheat berries
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar, divided
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 cups (packed) thinly sliced quartered radicchio (from about 1 medium head)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/3 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange beets in single layer in 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish. Drizzle with vegetable oil. Cover with foil and roast until beets are tender, about 45 minutes. Cool. Trim beets; peel. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.
  • Cook farro in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large bowl. Stir 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and garlic into hot farro. Cool to room temperature.
  • Cut each beet into 6 to 8 wedges. Add beets, radicchio, onion, and parsley to farro; toss to incorporate evenly. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil and 3 tablespoons vinegar in small bowl. Drizzle over salad. Add feta cheese; toss to coat.
  • Test-kitchen tip:
  • Any type of beet (red, golden, red-and-white-striped Chioggia) would be great in this salad. To avoid stained hands, wear plastic gloves when peeling dark-colored beets.

Tips:

  • Choose the right radicchio: Look for heads that are firm and have deep red leaves. Avoid any heads that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the radicchio properly: Cut the radicchio into thin strips or wedges. Rinse the radicchio thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. You can also add other ingredients, such as crumbled cheese, cooked quinoa, or dried fruit.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it's made. The radicchio will start to wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This radicchio salad with golden beets and walnuts is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this bitter green. The salad is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try!
