Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium-sized beets
1/2 cup sherry vinegar
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 small carrots, peeled and cut on the diagonal, 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons sugar
1 bunch watercress, washed and well-dried, bunch separated and thick stems removed
3 radishes, thinly sliced
Freshly ground pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place beets in a medium-sized saucepan with the vinegar and a large pinch of salt. Fill with water to cover. Cover with tin foil. Poke 4 holes in foil. Cook until beets are tender (a knife can easily pierce through), about 45 minutes. Allow beets to cool, then cut each into 8 wedges. Chill in refrigerator.
  • Pour a tablespoon of oil into a hot saute pan. Add the carrots and cook until golden brown on one side (medium-high heat). Add sugar and stir, cooking until tender and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Allow carrots to cool a bit, then chill in refrigerator.
  • Put the watercress in a salad bowl. Add the radishes, beets, and carrots. Season with salt, freshly ground pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

I'm not usually a fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing was tangy and flavorful, and the goat cheese added a nice touch of creaminess.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet beets, crunchy carrots, and peppery watercress was divine. I'll definitely be making it again.
