WILD ARUGULA AND BEET SALAD WITH ORANGE, WALNUTS AND TARRAGON



Wild Arugula and Beet Salad With Orange, Walnuts and Tarragon image

This is a salad filled with contrasting sweet and peppery flavors. Pungent wild arugula contrasts beautifully with sweet beets, anisy tarragon and juicy oranges. If you can find purslane, it makes a great addition to the salad, with its earthy flavor and almost juicy, delicate crunch. You can use a mix of colors for the beets. I roasted golden and red beets together, and the red beets bled into the outside layer of the golden beets, making their color striking in the salad.

ROAST BEET SALAD WITH ORANGE RASPBERRY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



ROAST BEET SALAD WITH ORANGE RASPBERRY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE image

Categories     Salad     Vegetable     Appetizer     Vegetarian

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 medium-sized Beets (Fresh beets are a must. Canned beets are flavorless and disgusting.)
1 Orange
Mixed greens or endive (to cover the bottom of the dish)
Crumbled Gorgonzola cheese or Blue cheese
Candied Pecans
¼ cup Raspberry-Balsamic vinegar
¼ cup Blood Orange-infused olive oil (preferred, but regular olive oil works too)
1 Tbs. Champagne mustard (or honey mustard)
1 Tbs. Fresh Orange Juice

Steps:

  • How to roast beets: Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Rinse beets to remove any dirt or debris. Wrap each beet securely in tin foil and place on a cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet in the oven and roast the beets for 45 minutes (1 hour if the beets are large). Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for at least 1 hour. Unwrap the beets and peel off the skins. I would suggest wearing rubber gloves to do this so that your hands don't get stained. If you don't have rubber gloves, you may want to peel each beet under running water. Beet skins should come off easily. Slice each beet into eighths. Peel skin off the orange. Slice the orange into 4 quarters. Put one orange slice aside for the dressing. Take each orange wedge and slice into ½ inch thick pieces. Rinse and dry the mixed greens or endive. Line each salad dish with greens and place beets and oranges atop. Add the candied pecans and sprinkle the gorgonzola/blue cheese crumbles evenly over each plate. In a small Tupperware dish, combine Raspberry-Balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Champagne mustard and Fresh Orange Juice. Seal the dish with a lid (air-tight) and shake vigorously.

Blood Oranges (8)
Flat Leaf Parsley
Lemons
champagne Vinegar
Shallot
Honey
Olive Oil
Goat Cheese
Mint

Steps:

  • roast beets until tender, remove oranges from peel and slice. Combine dressing together and toss and sprinkle goat cheese

Tips:

  • If you don't have an orange on hand, you can use a grapefruit or lemon instead. Just adjust the amount of juice you use to taste.
  • For a sweeter salad, use a sweeter variety of orange, such as a navel or Valencia orange.
  • If you want a more tart salad, use a more tart variety of orange, such as a Cara Cara or blood orange.
  • Beets can be roasted, boiled, or steamed. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness, while boiling or steaming them makes them more tender.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, simply roast or cook the beets and oranges in advance and store them in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, simply assemble the salad and dress it with the vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

This beet and orange salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
