YELLOW BEET SALAD WITH MUSTARD SEED DRESSING



Yellow Beet Salad With Mustard Seed Dressing image

If you are beet-phobic because you fear the inevitable crimson stains, try golden yellow beets instead. Yellow beets, nearing orange on the color spectrum, are slightly milder than red ones. They make a beautiful assertive salad, dressed with horseradish, mustard and mustard seeds.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, vegetables, main course, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 or 6 medium yellow beets (about 2 pounds)
1 small shallot, finely diced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish, plus more for garnish
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons mild vegetable oil
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon nigella seeds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Put scrubbed beets in a small roasting pan with an inch of water in the bottom. Cover tightly and bake until beets are tender when probed with a paring knife or skewer, about 1 hour. Alternatively, cook beets on the stovetop in simmering salted water for about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: Put shallot, lemon juice, rice vinegar, mustard and horseradish in a small bowl. Add good pinch of salt and pepper and stir to incorporate. Whisk in 3 tablespoons vegetable oil.
  • Heat a very small skillet with 1 tablespoon oil. When oil is hot, add mustard seeds and nigella seeds. They will begin to pop after about 1 minute. Carefully scrape popped seeds and oil into the vinaigrette. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Let beets cool slightly, then use fingers or a kitchen towel to rub skin off beets. Slice beets crosswise into 1/4-inch rounds and place in a wide salad bowl.
  • Sprinkle beet slices lightly with salt, then gently toss with the dressing. Grate a little more horseradish over the top. Serve at room temperature.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 cups roughly torn bite-size pieces French bread
1/4 cup assorted chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, and rosemary)
1 garlic clove, minced
24 baby beets, trimmed, scrubbed
8 ounces baby arugula (about 12 cups)

Steps:

  • Place lemon juice and vinegar in small bowl. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup oil. Stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat remaining 1/3 cup oil in medium ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add bread pieces; toss to coat. Add herbs and garlic; toss to coat. Sauté until bread is crisp, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer croutons to plate in single layer. Cool.
  • Add beets to same skillet, tossing to coat with any remaining herbs and oil. Cover skillet with foil and transfer to oven. Roast until beets are tender, about 45 minutes. Cool beets. Peel, if desired; cut in half.
  • Toss arugula with 1/2 cup dressing in large wide bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with beets and croutons and serve.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked beets. You can find them in the canned food section of most grocery stores.
  • If you're using fresh beets, roast them in the oven for about an hour or until they're tender. You can also boil them, but roasting brings out their sweetness.
  • Use a variety of greens in your salad. Arugula, spinach, and kale are all good choices.
  • Add some nuts or seeds for a crunchy texture. Walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all good options.
  • Use a light and tangy dressing. A vinaigrette made with lemon juice and olive oil is a good choice.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Beet salad with lemon dressing is a healthy and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give beet salad with lemon dressing a try.
