Steps:
- For the beets: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Put the beets in an 8-inch square baking dish. Add the vinegar, salt, thyme sprigs and 3 tablespoons water to the baking dish. Toss well to coat. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and roast until the beets are tender all the way through, about 50 minutes. Allow the beets to cool slightly, then use a paper towel to rub off the skins. Cut the beets into quarters or sixths depending on the size. Toss with any of the remaining liquid from roasting. Set aside to cool slightly.
- For the dressing: Heat a small skillet over low heat. Add the oil, shallots and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook until the shallots are soft but not brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, Dijon mustard and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the cooled oil mixture and whisk to combine.
- For the salad: Add the arugula and beets to the dressing and toss gently to coat. Place the salad on a large platter and tear the burrata around the sides. Sprinkle with the pine nuts.

Nut oils have that same combination of earthy and sweet as root vegetables, which makes them the dream team. With the creaminess of burrata, it's just out of this world.

Steps:
- Marinate the Kale:
- In a large bowl, combine the cheese, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, honey, salt, chile flakes, and pepper. Add the kale and toss to combine-really get in there and work the kale with your hands; this isn't a gentle massage. Set the kale aside to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours or in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, you could toss the kale in with the just-roasted, marinating beets along with the cheese, olive oil, et al., and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 2 hours or in the fridge overnight. They'll marinate just the same.
- Make the Vinaigrette:
- Combine the hazelnuts, hazelnut oil, vinegar, shallot, thyme, honey, salt, and pepper in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake it until the dressing comes together. Set aside until ready to serve or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Char the Kale and Beets:
- Preheat a large cast-iron pan over high heat for 5 minutes. When the pan looks very hot (you see little wisps of smoke), add the marinated beets and char on one side for 1 minute, just long enough to get some char. Remove the beets from the pan and add the kale, again charring for 1 minute. You are looking to just heat the kale, not fully cook it. You also could do this over the high heat of a grill. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Put it together and serve:
- Spread the cheese over a large platter. Season it a bit with salt and pepper. Scatter the charred kale and beets over the cheese, douse with the hazelnut vinaigrette, and finish with the chopped hazelnuts

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a sheet pan. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size, until a small sharp knife inserted in the middle indicates that they are tender. Unwrap each beet and set aside for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets with a small, sharp knife over a piece of parchment paper to prevent staining your cutting board.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside. While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the vinaigrette (warm beets absorb more vinaigrette), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings.
- Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss it with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Put the arugula on a serving platter and then arrange the beets, almonds, and goat cheese on top. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette, if desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Vinaigrette Combine vinegar, lemon juice, and shallot in a small bowl. Stir in mustard. Gradually whisk in oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Salad Preheat oven to 375°. Toss beets with oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 13x9x2" baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and roast beets until tender (a toothpick should slide through easily), about 40 minutes. Uncover (careful of the steam); let stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Peel beets (use a paper towel to help rub off the peel), then quarter them. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Toss beets with 1/4 cup vinaigrette in a medium bowl. Arrange burrata on a serving plate. Season with salt and pepper. Top burrata with beets; drizzle remaining vinaigrette from bowl over. Garnish with basil and hazelnuts.
Tips:
- Choose medium-sized beets for even cooking and tender texture.
- Scrub the beets well to remove dirt and impurities, but do not peel them, as the skin contains valuable nutrients.
- To achieve a smoky and caramelized flavor, roast the beets at a high temperature until they are fork-tender.
- Use a combination of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to create a flavorful marinade for the beets. Add herbs and spices like thyme, rosemary, garlic, and salt to enhance the taste.
- For the burrata cheese, select fresh and creamy burrata with a soft and gooey center. Bring it to room temperature before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Charred kale adds a slightly bitter and smoky flavor to the dish. To achieve the perfect char, heat a large pan or grill over medium-high heat and cook the kale until it is slightly wilted and charred.
- The hazelnut vinaigrette adds a nutty and tangy flavor to the dish. Toast the hazelnuts in a pan until fragrant and then blend them with olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and salt to create a smooth and flavorful dressing.
