Provided by Susan Elane Berry

Categories     Salad     Vegetable Salad Recipes     Beet Salad Recipes

Time 2h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium beets
1 tablespoon butter
1 sweet onion, chopped
¼ cup micro greens
2 tablespoons candied pecans
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
⅔ cup olive oil
½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Place beets into a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover beets by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until skins begin to loosen, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Drain beets, remove skins, and cut into halves or quarters, depending on size. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until beets are dark in color and almost fork tender, but not too soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool beets, dice into 1/2-inch cubes, and place in a bowl.
  • Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey in a lidded jar for the honey-mustard vinaigrette. Close jar and shake to combine. Pour vinaigrette over beets and chill in the refrigerator until flavors have melded, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter in a skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, 15 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and chop.
  • Arrange 1/4 of the marinated beets in a solid circle on 4 salad dishes. Top with layers of onions and micro greens and sprinkle with blue cheese and pecans. Drizzle remaining beet vinaigrette around each salad, if desired. Serve chilled.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh beets. If you can't find fresh beets, you can use canned beets, but be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, cook and peel the beets up to 2 days in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also make the dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • If you don't have any Danish blue cheese on hand, you can use another type of blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon. Just be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

This beet and Danish blue cheese salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet beets, salty blue cheese, and crunchy walnuts come together to create a salad that is both flavorful and satisfying. The dressing is a simple vinaigrette that is made with olive oil, vinegar, and honey. It is light and tangy, and it perfectly complements the salad. This salad is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
