Beet Salad with Goat Cheese, Green Apple & Honey Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by LRay

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds red beets, tops removed and scrubbed
8 ounces baby Chioggia beets, tops removed and scrubbed
Coarse salt & freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or safflower oil
3 tablespoons pure honey
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon plus 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 green apple
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, coarsely crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
2 cups sprouts or microgreens, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place red beets in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer and add enough water to come three quarters of the way up sides of beets. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and drizzle with grape seed oil. Cover with foil and bake until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Transfer beets to a cutting board. When just cool enough to handle, remove skins, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and transfer to a bowl. Meanwhile, place baby beets in small saucepan and cover with 2 inches cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. Drain beets; when just cool enough to handle, remove skins; cut into halves or wedges, depending on size; and transfer to another bowl. Whisk together honey, olive oil, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing; divide remaining dressing between bowls of warm beets; toss beets to coat. Halve lemon and squeeze juice into a bowl of cold water; drop lemon halves in it. Peel apple, cut into small pieces (you should have about 1 cup), and submerge in lemon water. When ready to serve, drain apple and blot dry. Arrange beets on a serving platter and drizzle with reserved dressing. Top with apple, goat cheese, and sprouts and serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. The beets were still too hard and the vinaigrette was too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory vinaigrette. But overall, it was still a good salad.

Yum! This salad is the perfect combination of sweet, savory, and tangy. I love the contrast of the creamy goat cheese with the crunchy beets and apples. I'll definitely be adding this to my regular rotation of salads.

This salad was easy to make and so delicious! I used pre-cooked beets to save time, and it still turned out great. The goat cheese and green apples added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch.

I'm not usually a fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind. The honey vinaigrette really balanced out the earthy flavor of the beets. I'll be making this salad again for sure.
