Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium beets, with root and about 1 inch of the green attached, if possible
1/4 cup walnut pieces
4 cup watercress, washed well and dried
3 ounces reduced-fat soft goat cheese
1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the beets into a steamer basket over a large pot of boiling water. Cover and steam for about 45 minutes or until beets are tender. Drain and let cool until you can handle them. Cut the ends off of the beets and peel them (the peel should rub off easily with a little help from a paring knife here and there). Cut the beets into large dice.
  • Toast the walnuts in a dry saute pan over medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until fragrant, and set aside.
  • Put the watercress, goat cheese, buttermilk, vinegar and salt into a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.
  • Put the beets on a serving dish, drizzle the watercress sauce on top and sprinkle with walnuts.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different dressing.

I'm not a big fan of watercress, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so good that it made me forget all about the watercress.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the night before and it will still be delicious the next day.

I'm not usually a big fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind. The combination of sweet beets, tangy dressing, and peppery watercress was really delicious. I'll definitely be making this salad again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I roasted a few beets the other night and had some leftover, so I decided to try this recipe. The salad was really easy to make and it turned out great. The dressing is especially good.
