Raw Beet Salad With Toasted Sunflower Seeds and Goat Cheese image

This is less recipe than method and ingredients. Delicious. If your Mr. Wonderful doesn't like goat cheese - gorgonzola would also work. This is a beautiful salad - glistening deep red gratings of beets, greens and dots of goat cheese.

Time 22m

Yield 4 salads, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb beet, raw
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar or 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, finely diced
1/2-3/4 cup olive oil
sea salt, lemon pepper to taste
1/2 cup soft fresh goat cheese
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
baby spinach and arugula

Steps:

  • Mix the shallots with the vinegars and let stand while you process the beets and toast the sunflower seeds.
  • Peel the beets and grate them or process them in the food processor until they are of coarsely grated consistency.
  • Toast the sunflower seeds (I stir them up quickly in a hot stainless steel pan and remove them from the pan as soon as they start to brown).
  • Mix the rest of the dressing ingredients with the vinegar/shallot mixture and add half of this to the beets and chill until ready to assemble the salad.
  • Mound the greens loosely in individual dishes, and divide the beet mixture amongst the plates.
  • Dot with goat cheese, sprinkle with sunflower seeds and drizzle more of the dressing on the greens.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is amazing and the goat cheese adds a nice touch of creaminess. I'll definitely be making this again.

This beet salad is a symphony of flavors and textures. The earthy sweetness of the beets, the nutty crunch of the sunflower seeds, and the creamy tang of the goat cheese come together perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again!
