ROASTED BEET, PEACH AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Roasted Beet, Peach and Goat Cheese Salad image

This salad is a bit of work, but it's so delicious and always impresses guests. Mache can be hard to find, so you may omit it and just use arugula, but it adds a great nutty flavor if you can find it.

ROASTED BEET, GOAT CHEESE AND FENNEL SALAD



Roasted Beet, Goat Cheese and Fennel Salad image

Serve this lemony goat cheese salad as a side dish or as a meal with crunchy walnuts and tender butterhead lettuce. Each tangy-fresh salad offers fewer than 200 calories. Wrapping aluminum foil around each beet for roasting creates a small steam chamber to cook each vegetable. In addition to locking in nutrients and flavor, the aluminum foil-wrapped beets cook without getting dry.

ROASTED-BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND WALNUTS



Roasted-Beet Salad With Goat Cheese and Walnuts image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large or 6 medium beets
3/4 cup walnuts
6 cups torn greens, one type or an assortment
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces goat cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400. Wash the beets, and while they are still wet, wrap them individually in foil. Put them on a rimmed baking sheet and cook, undisturbed, until you can pierce them easily with a thin-bladed knife, 60 to 90 minutes. Once the beets have cooled, peel them (I like to rub the skin off under running water), and cut them into chunks.
  • Put the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until fragrant and beginning to darken, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Rinse and dry the greens and put them in a large bowl; add the walnuts. Combine the oil, vinegar, shallot and Dijon in a jar with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Screw the lid on tightly and shake vigorously until the dressing becomes thick and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Pour some of the dressing onto the greens and toss to coat; pile the greens on 4 plates. Put the beets in the bowl, toss with some of the dressing and arrange them on top of or around the greens. Crumble the goat cheese on top, and serve.

ROASTED BEET, RED ONION, & GOAT CHEESE SALAD WITH HONEY-OREGANO VINAIGRETTE



Roasted Beet, Red Onion, & Goat Cheese Salad with Honey-Oregano Vinaigrette image

Deep, dark, ruby roasted beets soaked in honey-dijon oregano vinaigrette top a medley of spring greens. Add creamy, tangy goat cheese and a sprinkling of icy red onions, and that's all it takes to achieve salad nirvana.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound beets (ends trimmed)
1/4 red onion (very thinly sliced)
8 cups spring greens and/or baby spinach (I like a mixture of romaine and oak leaf lettuces along with baby spinach)
4 ounces goat cheese (sliced into four coins)
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh chopped oregano
Salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Scrub the beets with a vegetable brush and wrap each one in foil. Place on a cookie sheet to catch the juices and roast in the oven for about 50 minutes until tender.
  • Unwrap the beets and place them in a medium bowl. Cut into 1-inch pieces right in the bowl, touching the beets minimally as they'll stain your fingers and everything else (which is why it's easiest to cut them right in the bowl instead of on a cutting board).
  • Whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and chopped fresh oregano. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Pour half the vinaigrette over the beets and gently toss. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Swish red onion in a bowl of cold water and rinse to remove any bitterness. Add more water and a few cubes of ice. Refrigerate for an hour or so.
  • Toss greens in remaining vinaigrette and divide between four separate places. Top with beets and add a coin of goat cheese. Sprinkle with red onion and top with a sprinkling of fresh ground pepper and a few extra bits of fresh oregano, if you have it.

ROASTED BEET AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad image

I really like the combination of the beets and goat cheese in this salad. If your in a rush, canned or jarred "un-pickled" sliced beets work well here too, if you don't have time to roast fresh ones. Also, this salad works well with your favorite bottled vinaigrette, if you'd rather not make it from scratch. Cook time is beet roasting time.

Provided by Kozmic Blues

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large beets, unpeeled
2 cups red leaf lettuce or 2 cups green lettuce leaves, washed and torn into bit size pieces

4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Wrap beets in aluminum foil, and roast until tender, about 1 hour.
  • Let the beets cool a bit, and then peel the skins while they are still a bit warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size and have smooth, firm skin. Avoid beets that have any blemishes or bruises.
  • Roast the beets properly: To ensure even cooking, toss the beets in olive oil and wrap them individually in foil before roasting. This will help them to steam and become tender.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use a variety of textures: This salad is all about contrasting textures. The roasted beets are soft and sweet, the goat cheese is creamy and tangy, and the walnuts add a crunchy texture.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The roasted beets will start to lose their color and flavor if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This roasted beet and goat cheese salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
