Roasted Beet and Winter Squash Salad With Walnuts image

The colors of the vegetables were the inspiration behind this beautiful salad. You may be fooled into thinking the orange vegetables next to the dark beets are sliced golden beets, but they are slices of roasted kabocha squash.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds kabocha or butternut squash
1 bunch beets, with greens
2 tablespoons red wine or sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small garlic clove, minced or put through a press
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons walnut oil
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts (about 1 1/2 ounces)
2 tablespoons mixed chopped fresh herbs, like parsley, mint, tarragon, chives

Steps:

  • Roast the beets. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the greens off of the beets, leaving about 1/2 inch of the stems attached. Scrub the beets and place in a baking dish or ovenproof casserole. Add about 1/4 inch water to the dish. Cover tightly with a lid or foil, and bake 35 to 40 minutes, until the beets are tender. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. If not using right away, refrigerate in a covered bowl
  • Line another roasting pan with foil or parchment and brush with olive oil. Peel the squash and cut in 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and salt to taste and place on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until lightly browned and tender. You can do this at the same time that you roast the beets, but watch carefully if you need to put the baking sheet on a lower shelf. Remove from the heat and allow to cool
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil while you stem and wash the greens. Add salt to the water, and blanch the greens for 1 minute or until tender. Transfer the greens to a bowl of cold water, then drain and squeeze out the water. Chop coarsely
  • Mix together the vinegars, garlic, salt, pepper, the remaining olive oil and the walnut oil. When the beets are cool enough to handle, trim the ends off, slip off their skins, cut in half, then slice into half-moon shapes. Toss with half the salad dressing. In a separate bowl, toss the roasted squash with the remaining dressing
  • Place the greens on a platter, leaving a space in the middle. Arrange the beets and squash in alternating rows in the middle of the platter. Sprinkle on the fresh herbs and the walnuts. If desired, sprinkle on crumbled feta. Serve

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small and firm, with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid beets that are large, soft, or have cracks or bruises.
  • Roast the beets at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the beets and give them a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Tarragon is a classic herb to pair with beets, but you can also use thyme, rosemary, sage, or oregano. For a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Don't overcook the beets: Beets should be tender but still have a slight crunch to them. Overcooked beets will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve the beets warm or at room temperature: Roasted beets can be served as a side dish, a main course, or a salad. They are also a great addition to sandwiches, wraps, and grain bowls.

Conclusion:

Roasted beets are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and healthy. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy beets, give this roasted beet recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
