Beet Salad with Pecans and Blue Cheese image

A wonderful salad using my favorite veggie to grow, beets. They are the start of this delicious salad, which has a true summer feel to it.

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.

knob of butter

50g pecan or walnuts

Tip onto an oiled baking sheet, leave to cool slightly, then roughly chop. Whisk together the vinegar and olive oil until well blended, then stir through a little salt and pepper to taste.

Gently toss everything together until the leaves are coated, then arrange on 4 serving plates. Crumble over the cheese and top with a scattering of nuts. Drizzle with the remaining dressing to serve.
