Best 6 Warm Beet And String Bean Salad Recipes

BEET & WHITE BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare dressing: In small bowl combine cider vinegar, Dijon mustard and sugar. Gradually add olive oil until well blended. Season with salt and pepper.
• Prepare Salad: In large bowl combine beets and white kidney beans; toss with dressing.
• To serve, place arugula leaves on platter or in serving bowl; top with beet mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese and walnuts.

WARM THREE-BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Cook a 12-ounce bag cut green beans as the label directs. Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon grainy mustard, 1 minced garlic clove and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Cook 1 chopped red onion in olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, 2 minutes. Add one 15-ounce can drained cannellini beans, one 10-ounce bag thawed frozen edamame and the green beans; heat through. Toss with the dressing, sprinkle with parsley.

FRENCH STRING BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Add the beans and cook for 1 minute only. Time it carefully! You want the beans to be crisp-tender. Drain the beans and put them in the ice water until completely cool. Drain the beans again, dry on paper towels, and place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil to make an emulsion. Pour enough dressing over the beans to moisten them well, reserving the rest for another use. Toss with the dill, season to taste, and serve at room temperature. (If the beans aren't served immediately, refrigerate them and add a little extra vinaigrette and a sprinkle of salt before serving.)

WARM BOK CHOY, BEET AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the beets, 1/4 of the chopped garlic, and the olive oil on a piece of heavy aluminum foil; fold the foil around the beets into a sealed packet.
• Roast beets in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 40 minutes to 1 hour. Let beets cool just until they can be handled, then rub with a paper towel to remove skins. Chop into 1/2-inch cubes; set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil and butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bok choy and the remaining garlic together until bok choy is slightly softened but still crunchy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in the beets and the feta. Serve warm.

WARM BEET SALAD WITH PARMESAN DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine shallots, 2 tablespoons oil, and the vinegar in a bowl. Line a piece of foil with parchment. Place beets and 1/2 bunch thyme in center, drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Fold, crimping edges to seal, place on a baking sheet, and roast until beets are tender, about 1 hour. Let beets cool slightly, then peel. Cut beets into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Place Parmesan, cream, and remaining 2 stems thyme in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Gently simmer, stirring often, until cheese melts and dressing is thick, about 5 minutes. Discard thyme. Place beets on a serving platter. Drizzle with warm dressing, top with greens, then drizzle with shallot mixture. Sprinkle pistachios on top, and serve immediately.
