BEET AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH WALNUTS



Beet and Endive Salad with Walnuts image

This is a French classic. I add a small amount of goat cheese or feta to mine (in France they might use blue cheese, or no cheese), a tart contrast to the sweet beets.

6 large beets (about 2 pounds), scrubbed and stems removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
6 navel oranges
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 heads Bibb lettuce (1/2 pound), or 1 head Boston lettuce, cut into 1/2-inch strips

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

6 medium beets
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (or more to taste)
1/2 to 2/3 cup walnut oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
5 heads endive
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

  • Cut four quarter-inch slices off the bottom of the endives. Cut the slices in half vertically and add them to the beets.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller beets tend to be sweeter and more tender.
  • Roast the beets properly: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of beets. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400°F for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
  • Use a variety of greens: Endive, arugula, and spinach are all great choices for this salad. You can also add other vegetables, such as roasted carrots or parsnips.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey is a great way to dress this salad. You can also add other herbs or spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or cumin.
  • Garnish with nuts and seeds: Toasted walnuts, almonds, or pumpkin seeds add a nice crunchy texture and flavor to this salad. You can also add crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese for a creamy touch.

Conclusion:

Beet and endive salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this vibrant root vegetable. With its sweet and earthy flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a simple yet elegant salad, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
