Beet Salad with Goat Cheese, Green Apple, and Honey image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds red beets, tops removed and scrubbed
8 ounces baby Chioggia beets, tops removed and scrubbed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or safflower oil
3 tablespoons pure honey
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon plus 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 green apple
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, coarsely crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
2 cups sprouts or microgreens, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place red beets in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer and add enough water to come three quarters of the way up sides of beets. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and drizzle with grapeseed oil. Cover with foil and bake until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Transfer beets to a cutting board. When just cool enough to handle, remove skins, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and transfer to a bowl.
  • Meanwhile, place baby beets in small saucepan and cover with 2 inches cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. Drain beets; when just cool enough to handle, remove skins; cut into halves or wedges, depending on size; and transfer to another bowl.
  • Whisk together honey, olive oil, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing; divide remaining dressing between bowls of warm beets; toss beets to coat.
  • Halve lemon and squeeze juice into a bowl of cold water; drop lemon halves in it. Peel apple, cut into small pieces (you should have about 1 cup), and submerge in lemon water. When ready to serve, drain apple and blot dry. Arrange beets on a serving platter and drizzle with reserved dressing. Top with apple, goat cheese, and sprouts and serve immediately.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Categories     salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium beets
5 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
2 small (not tiny) potatoes
1 large carrot, peeled

1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Dash of sugar
Freshly ground pepper to taste

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Cut off the tops of the beets, scrub them, and place them on the baking sheet. Coat them with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and roast them in the oven for an hour. Remove from the oven, and when they are cool enough to handle, peel and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the potatoes until they are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the water and allow to cool before peeling and cutting into 1/2-inch cubes. Cook the carrot for about 5 minutes in that same boiling salted water. Remove with a slotted spoon, cool and cut into 1/2-inch rounds.

8 ounces baby Chioggia beets, tops removed and scrubbed
Coarse salt & freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or safflower oil

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place red beets in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer and add enough water to come three quarters of the way up sides of beets. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and drizzle with grape seed oil. Cover with foil and bake until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Transfer beets to a cutting board. When just cool enough to handle, remove skins, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and transfer to a bowl. Meanwhile, place baby beets in small saucepan and cover with 2 inches cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. Drain beets; when just cool enough to handle, remove skins; cut into halves or wedges, depending on size; and transfer to another bowl. Whisk together honey, olive oil, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing; divide remaining dressing between bowls of warm beets; toss beets to coat. Halve lemon and squeeze juice into a bowl of cold water; drop lemon halves in it. Peel apple, cut into small pieces (you should have about 1 cup), and submerge in lemon water. When ready to serve, drain apple and blot dry. Arrange beets on a serving platter and drizzle with reserved dressing. Top with apple, goat cheese, and sprouts and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a food processor or grater to shred the beets and apples.
  • If you don't have walnuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.
  • For a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
  • To make the salad more colorful, add some crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
