Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 raw medium beetroot , about the size of a tangerine (a couple of different varieties, if you can get them)
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
5 tbsp olive oil
250g soft fresh goat's cheese
1 handful fresh tarragon leaves
small bunch watercress , picked into small sprigs

Steps:

  • Wash the beetroot and put them in a pan of salted water with the white wine vinegar. Boil for 30-40 minutes or until tender - when pricked with a skewer there should be no resistance. Drain and leave to cool slightly, then peel - wear a pair of washing up gloves to stop your hands from turning pink.
  • Cut each beetroot in half and then into wedges and arrange on a large platter. Drizzle the warm beetroot with half the balsamic vinegar and half the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. 3 Just before serving, break the goat's cheese into pieces over the beetroot and sprinkle on the tarragon, watercress and remaining vinegar and oil.

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 pound beets, ends trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/3 cup pine nuts
4 ounces goat cheese
4 cups baby greens
4 cups baby spinach
Tarragon Dressing, recipe follows
4 very thin slices red onion, separated
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Wash and dry the beets and trim off the ends. Take a large sheet of aluminum foil, 12 by18, and double it over. Put the beets in the middle, drizzle with olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Bring the sides of the foil up around the beets to make a pouch. Put in the hot oven and bake until the beets are tender, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. When cool enough to handle, gently peel off the skin and slice into julienne pieces, about 2 inches long by 1/2-inch thick. Chill until ready to use.
  • Lightly toast the pine nuts in a small saute pan over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate or small bowl and cool. Slice the goat cheese into 1/2-inch rounds and press the pine nuts onto both sides. Chill until service.
  • When ready to serve, lightly toss the baby greens and the spinach together in a large bowl and dress the edge of your serving bowl with 1/4 cup of the Tarragon Dressing. Toss the greens and then top with the beets and the goat cheese rounds. Drizzle with additional dressing and serve immediately.
  • In a small bowl or glass jar, combine all the ingredients, except the olive oil. Whisk until well h well combined, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This recipe works really well with a stick blender.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant beets: Look for beets that are firm, smooth, and deep in color. Avoid beets that are wilted, bruised, or have blemishes.
  • Roast the beets to perfection: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of beets and caramelizes their edges. To roast beets, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the beets in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then wrap them in aluminum foil. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use high-quality goat cheese: Goat cheese adds a creamy, tangy flavor to this salad. Look for a goat cheese that is fresh and has a mild flavor. Avoid goat cheese that is too crumbly or has a strong odor.
  • Fresh herbs are a must: Tarragon and chives add a bright, herbaceous flavor to this salad. Use fresh herbs whenever possible, as dried herbs will not have the same flavor or aroma.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette is all you need to dress this salad. Overdressing the salad will weigh it down and make it soggy.

Conclusion:

This beetroot, goat cheese, and tarragon salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy beets. The roasted beets are sweet and caramelized, the goat cheese is creamy and tangy, and the tarragon and chives add a bright, herbaceous flavor. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled meats or fish.
