Beet Salad in Grand Marnier image

This recipe was in a emailed newsletter from MyDailyMoments.com and since I have just discovered how good beets are had to post this one for safe keeping. Cooking time includes 2 hours for boiling and chilling the beets.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs beets
2 -3 teaspoons sugar
1 large lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon sweet paprika
3 -4 tablespoons parsley
2 teaspoons water
salt, to taste
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier

Steps:

  • Scrub beets well but be careful to not damage the skin. Trim off the long root of the beet and leave about a 1/2 inch stem on the tops.
  • In a large heavy saucepan filled with water add the cleaned beets and bring to a boil cooking beets until tender. This could take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size of your beets.
  • Drain beets and add cool running water to reduce the temperature to the point where they can be handled. Peel and trim the beets then dice into bite sized cubes approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inches.
  • In a large bowl add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour over warm beets and toss together to combine. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

Overall, this is a good salad. I would make it again, but I would make a few changes.

I found the beets to be a bit too crunchy. I would have preferred them to be roasted a bit longer.

I had some trouble finding Grand Marnier at my local grocery store. I ended up using Cointreau instead and it worked out fine.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it a day or two ahead of time and it will still taste great.

I'm not a big fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind. The Grand Marnier and the goat cheese really balanced out the earthy flavor of the beets.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up.
