Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 pounds beets, trimmed, leaving 3 inches of the stems intact and reserving the leaves for another use
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup distilled vinegar
1 small bay leaf
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped fine

Steps:

  • In a kettle combine the beets with enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the beets removing the small ones as they are done, for 40 to 50 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain the beets and let them cool. The beets may be cooked 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Peel the beets and cut them into 1-inch wedges.
  • In a small saucepan combine zest, the orange juice, the sugar, the vinegar, and the bay leaf and boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Discard the bay leaf and let the mixture cool. In a large bowl whisk together the orange mixture, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste until the dressing is emulsified, add the beets and the onion, and combine the salad well.

This salad is really good, but it's a bit too expensive to make on a regular basis.

The beets in this salad were a bit too crunchy for my liking. I would recommend roasting them for a bit longer before adding them to the salad.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

This salad is a bit too tart for my taste. I would recommend using less orange juice in the dressing.

I love how versatile this salad is. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I often add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for some extra crunch.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I often make it the night before and let it chill in the fridge overnight. The flavors really meld together and it tastes even better the next day.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this salad. The orange and goat cheese really helped to balance out the earthy flavor of the beets.
