Categories     weekday, salads and dressings

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch beets, without the leaves
2 bunches watercress
2 heads endive
1 clove garlic, crushed
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Balsamic vinegar to taste
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
6 slices fresh goat's cheese, in 1/2-inch thick rounds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the beets in their skins until they are tender when tested with a skewer or sharp knife (one to two hours, depending on size). Remove, cool and peel. Cut into dice.
  • Trim the stalks from the watercress; separate the endive leaves and slice them into thin strips.
  • Combine the garlic, olive oil and vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the garlic and toss the watercress leaves and endive in the dressing, reserving a couple of spoonfuls of dressing for the beets. Toss the beets in remaining dressing.
  • Divide the salad equally among six dinner plates. Top with a couple of spoonfuls of dressed beets and place a disk of goat's cheese on top

I'm not a huge fan of watercress, but I still enjoyed this salad. The other ingredients really balanced out the flavor.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I used a different type of goat cheese than the recipe called for, but it still turned out great.

I added some chopped walnuts to this salad for extra crunch. It was a great addition.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets in the fridge and they were perfect for this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind. The sweetness of the beets paired perfectly with the tangy goat cheese.
