Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large golden beets, trimmed
6 ounces haricots verts, trimmed
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallot (from 1 shallot)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup loosely packed torn fresh basil, plus small leaves for garnish
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wrap beets in parchment, then foil, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 60 minutes. Let cool completely. Peel and cut beets into 1/2-inch dice. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Cook haricots verts in boiling salted water until bright green and crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath, and drain. Cut beans diagonally into thirds, and add to beets.
  • Mix vinegar, shallot, and mustard in a small bowl. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Toss with vegetables, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in torn basil and goat cheese. Garnish with basil leaves.

ROASTED GOLDEN BEET AND WINTER SQUASH SALAD



Roasted Golden Beet and Winter Squash Salad image

Golden beets are more savory and earthy than their sugary ruby counterparts and fare better alongside the caramelized roasted winter squash in this many-textured salad. But red beets will work, too, if you don't mind a slightly sweeter dish over all. If you can't find delicata squash, other varieties, such as sweet dumpling (shown here), honey nut or acorn squash, make fine substitutes.

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 medium golden beets, peeled and sliced into 1-inch-thick wedges
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt, more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, more as needed
1 bay leaf, preferably fresh
3 sprigs thyme
1 bunch radishes, trimmed and halved if large
1 large delicata squash (1 to 1 1/4 pounds), halved, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch slices, or substitute sweet dumpling or another winter variety
1/2 cup cilantro or mint leaves
2 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
1/3 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
1 medium head frisée, torn into bite-size pieces (3 to 4 cups), or substitute arugula
Shaved Pecorino Toscano, manchego or Parmesan, for serving
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 clove garlic, grated on a Microplane or minced
2 anchovies, minced (optional)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together beets, 2 tablespoons oil, orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, bay leaf and thyme. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, toss radishes with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Flip beets and scatter radishes around them. Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees and roast uncovered until everything is golden and tender, 18 to 25 minutes longer, stirring once or twice.
  • Meanwhile, on a separate rimmed baking sheet, toss squash with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Roast in oven along with beets and radishes, until browned, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through.
  • Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, garlic, anchovies and salt. Let sit for a minute, then whisk in oil.
  • As warm vegetables come out of the oven, toss them in the bowl with the dressing and let cool. Once cool, fold in cilantro, scallions and pumpkin seeds.
  • In a medium bowl, toss frisée with olive oil and salt to taste, then transfer to serving plate. Top with roasted vegetables, and cover generously with cheese.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large beets, red, golden, or Chioggia or any combination
8 to 10 baby beets- any color or combo
2 cups baby arugula
2 to 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup shaved pecorino, aged pecorino Toscano or pecorino Romano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place all the large beets on a sheet tray and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a fork slides in and out of the beets easily. Add the baby beets to the tray for the last 20 minutes of cooking time. When the beets have cooled, peel them. Slice the large beets into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut the baby beets in half.
  • Place the arugula in a bowl and drizzle in about half of the vinegar and olive oil and season generously with salt. Toss the salad gently to incorporate all of the ingredients. TASTE IT! It should taste very flavorful but not soggy. Arrange the arugula on 4 individual salad plates. Toss all of the beets together in the salad bowl and add the remaining oil, vinegar and salt, and toss. Arrange the dressed beets on the arugula and top with the pistachios and shaved pecorino.

SHAVED GOLDEN BEET SALAD



Shaved Golden Beet Salad image

The smaller the golden beet, the more tender, which is best if eaten raw. A mandoline or Japanese vegetable slicer is essential for slicing the beets as thin as possible. Of course, red, pink, white, and the two-toned Chioggia are perfectly acceptable here as well.

4 golden beets, very thinly sliced

RAW BEET SALAD



Raw Beet Salad image

This is a beet recipe for someone who is skeptical of their earthy, rooty flavor. Uncooked beets are less sweet and earthy than they are when boiled or roasted. This is a messy affair, so peel and grate them near the sink.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound beets
1 large shallot
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, or to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or other good strong vinegar
Minced parsley, dill, chervil, rosemary or tarragon

Steps:

  • Peel the beets and the shallot. Combine them in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, and pulse carefully until the beets are shredded; do not puree. (Or grate the beets by hand and mince the shallots; combine.) Scrape into a bowl.
  • Toss with the salt, pepper, mustard, oil and vinegar. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Toss in the herbs, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for golden beets that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller beets tend to be more tender and flavorful.
  • Use a sharp mandoline: A sharp mandoline will help you create thin, even slices of beets. If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife, but be careful not to cut yourself.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You want the flavors of the beets, oranges, and goat cheese to shine through.
  • Let the salad marinate: If you have time, let the salad marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This shaved golden beet salad is a beautiful and delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's light and refreshing, with a sweet and tangy flavor. The goat cheese adds a creamy richness, and the walnuts add a nice crunch. This salad is sure to impress your guests, and it's healthy too!
