Categories     weekday, salads and dressings

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch beets, without the leaves
2 bunches watercress
2 heads endive
1 clove garlic, crushed
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Balsamic vinegar to taste
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
6 slices fresh goat's cheese, in 1/2-inch thick rounds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the beets in their skins until they are tender when tested with a skewer or sharp knife (one to two hours, depending on size). Remove, cool and peel. Cut into dice.
  • Trim the stalks from the watercress; separate the endive leaves and slice them into thin strips.
  • Combine the garlic, olive oil and vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the garlic and toss the watercress leaves and endive in the dressing, reserving a couple of spoonfuls of dressing for the beets. Toss the beets in remaining dressing.
  • Divide the salad equally among six dinner plates. Top with a couple of spoonfuls of dressed beets and place a disk of goat's cheese on top

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could have used some more herbs or spices to give it more flavor.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory dressing.

This was a delicious and easy salad to make. I used a pre-made vinaigrette dressing to save time, and it still turned out great. The beets and watercress were a great combination, and the goat cheese added a nice richness.
