WARM BOK CHOY, BEET AND FETA SALAD



Warm Bok Choy, Beet and Feta Salad image

Straying from bok choy's usual Asian flair, this lovely bright pink salad has a rich feta flavor with a fresh clean finish. The bok choy provides a nice crunch while the beets keep the tones earthy, with the feta and garlic to sharpen the flavor.

Time 1h5m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 small beets, trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
4 cloves garlic, chopped, divided
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 heads baby bok choy, chopped
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 ½ teaspoons butter
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese

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.

This colorful and elegant side dish is so easy to make. I love making this with beets and shallots straight from our local farmers' market. Green onions or chives may be substituted for the shallot if you prefer.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, young bok choy and beets.
  • If you can't find golden beets, you can use regular red beets. Just peel and chop them before roasting.
  • To save time, you can roast the beets ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When roasting the beets, wrap them in foil to prevent them from drying out.
  • Be careful not to overcook the bok choy, as it will become tough.
  • If you don't have feta cheese, you can use crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese instead.
  • Serve the salad warm, topped with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of black pepper.

Conclusion:

This warm bok choy, beet, and feta salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. The combination of sweet beets, crunchy bok choy, and salty feta cheese is sure to please everyone at your table.
