ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH ORANGES AND CREAMY GOAT CHEESE DRESSING



Roasted Beet Salad with Oranges and Creamy Goat Cheese Dressing image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound small golden and red beets, scrubbed
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon sugar
4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 medium oranges
8 ounces baby arugula
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Trim the beets and place on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the beets in the foil and bake until tender, about 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel the beets, slice in half lengthwise, and then slice into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons. For the dressing, heat 3/4 cup of the orange juice and the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until the mixture is reduced to about 3 tablespoons, about 30 minutes. Cool completely. Whisk the orange juice reduction with the olive oil, the remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice, the goat cheese, champagne vinegar, heavy cream and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut off both ends of the oranges. Carefully cut off the skin and pith, and then slice the oranges in half and then into 1/4-inch half-moons. Mix together the arugula and onions in a large salad bowl. Divide the salad among 4 plates. Arrange the oranges and beets over each salad and drizzle with the dressing. Cook's Note: If using both golden beets and red beets, wrap them separately so the red beets don't dye the golden beets while they cook.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, choose firm, evenly-shaped beets. Avoid beets that are soft or have blemishes.
  • To easily remove the beet skins, roast the beets whole. Once they are cool enough to handle, the skins will slip right off.
  • If you don't have time to roast the beets, you can also boil them. However, roasting will give them a more concentrated flavor.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits in your salad. Oranges, grapefruits, and lemons all pair well with beets.
  • If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute another type of soft cheese, such as feta or blue cheese.
  • Add some chopped nuts or seeds to your salad for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Drizzle your salad with a balsamic vinegar dressing for a tangy and flavorful finish.

Conclusion:

This roasted beet and orange salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fresh, seasonal ingredients. The beets are roasted until tender and caramelized, and the oranges add a bright and citrusy flavor. The goat cheese adds a creamy richness, and the balsamic vinegar dressing ties all the flavors together. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover roasted beets.
