BALSAMIC ROASTED BEET SALAD

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.

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 large beets, trimmed
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
4 red onions, each cut into 6 wedges
2 1/2 pounds slender green beans, trimmed, cut into 3-inch lengths
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets tightly in foil. Place directly on oven rack. Roast until tender when pierced with knife, about 1 hour. Cool beets. Peel and quarter beets. Transfer to large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons thyme, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
  • Spray 2 large rimmed baking sheets with nonstick spray. Divide onion wedges between prepared baking sheets. Brush onions on both sides with 2 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with 4 teaspoons thyme, salt, and pepper. Arrange onions cut side down and roast until golden brown on bottom, about 10 minutes. Turn onions over. Roast until golden brown and tender, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer to another large bowl.
  • Divide green beans between same baking sheets. Drizzle beans with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup water, and 2 teaspoons thyme. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover tightly with foil and roast until almost crisp-tender, about 14 minutes. Uncover and continue to roast until water evaporates and beans are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with onions. (Beets, onions, and green beans can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  • Drizzle onions and green beans with balsamic vinegar; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with beets and serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED-BEET AND PICKLED-RED-ONION SALAD



Roasted-Beet and Pickled-Red-Onion Salad image

Tender, roasted beets and red onions pickled in rice-wine vinegar give this salad a distinctive flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 bunches red baby beets (about 4 pounds), trimmed and scrubbed
4 bunches white baby beets (about 4 pounds), trimmed and scrubbed
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 small red onions, sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rings
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place the red beets in a roasting pan and the white beets in another roasting pan. Drizzle each pan of beets with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Cover pans with foil; roast about 1 1/2 hours, until beets are just tender when poked with a fork. Remove from oven; set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Meanwhile, combine the sliced red onions and vinegar in a small bowl, and let stand until the onions soften, about 30 minutes.
  • Gently rub off beet skins. Cut larger beets in half; transfer to a serving bowl. Using a slotted spoon, lift onions out of vinegar; arrange over beets. Whisk horseradish into vinegar remaining in bowl. Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil.
  • Pour the vinaigrette over the beets and onions. Season to taste with salt and pepper; toss to combine, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose firm and evenly-shaped beets. Smaller beets tend to cook more evenly.
  • Roast the beets whole to preserve their moisture and flavor. Prick them with a fork to prevent them from bursting.
  • Once the beets are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling them. The skins will come off easily once they are cool enough to handle.
  • Chickpeas can be used canned or dried. If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Red onion adds a sharp and slightly spicy flavor to the salad. If you don't like red onion, you can substitute a shallot or green onion.
  • Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or mint, add a pop of flavor to the salad. Use whatever herbs you have on hand.
  • A simple vinaigrette dressing is all you need to dress this salad. Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and season it with salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

Roasted Beet Salad with Chickpeas and Red Onion is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients and flavor, and it is easy to make. The roasted beets are sweet and earthy, the chickpeas add protein and fiber, and the red onion adds a sharp and slightly spicy flavor. The vinaigrette dressing brings all of the flavors together and makes this salad irresistible.
