Categories     Salad     Vegetable Salad Recipes     Beet Salad Recipes

Time 2h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium beets
1 tablespoon butter
1 sweet onion, chopped
¼ cup micro greens
2 tablespoons candied pecans
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
⅔ cup olive oil
½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Place beets into a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover beets by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until skins begin to loosen, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Drain beets, remove skins, and cut into halves or quarters, depending on size. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until beets are dark in color and almost fork tender, but not too soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool beets, dice into 1/2-inch cubes, and place in a bowl.
  • Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey in a lidded jar for the honey-mustard vinaigrette. Close jar and shake to combine. Pour vinaigrette over beets and chill in the refrigerator until flavors have melded, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter in a skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, 15 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and chop.
  • Arrange 1/4 of the marinated beets in a solid circle on 4 salad dishes. Top with layers of onions and micro greens and sprinkle with blue cheese and pecans. Drizzle remaining beet vinaigrette around each salad, if desired. Serve chilled.

BALSAMIC ROASTED BEET SALAD



Balsamic Roasted Beet Salad image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium-size beets, tops removed and scrubbed
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup good olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, such as Grey Poupon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces baby arugula
1/3 cup roasted, salted Marcona almonds, toasted
4 ounces soft goat cheese, such as Montrachet, crumbled

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.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked beets. You can find them in the produce section of most grocery stores.
  • If you're using fresh beets, roast them until they're tender but still hold their shape. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • For a more intense flavor, roast the beets with the skins on. Just be sure to scrub them well before roasting.
  • Beets can be roasted in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can use any type of blue cheese in this salad. I like to use a creamy blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort.
  • If you don't like blue cheese, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as feta or goat cheese.
  • This salad is best served warm, but it can also be served cold.

Conclusion:

This roasted beet salad with blue cheese is a delicious and healthy side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try!
