Roasted Beet, Goat Cheese and Fennel Salad image

Serve this lemony goat cheese salad as a side dish or as a meal with crunchy walnuts and tender butterhead lettuce. Each tangy-fresh salad offers fewer than 200 calories. Wrapping aluminum foil around each beet for roasting creates a small steam chamber to cook each vegetable. In addition to locking in nutrients and flavor, the aluminum foil-wrapped beets cook without getting dry.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 grapefruit
1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 15-ounce can chickpeas (rinsed, coarsely chopped)
1 thinly sliced fennel bulb and stalks
A handful of fennel fronds

Steps:

  • Cut peel and pith from 1 grapefruit and 1 lemon; cut between membranes to release segments. Squeeze juice from membranes into a medium bowl; whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss in citrus, one 15-ounce can chickpeas (rinsed, coarsely chopped), 1 thinly sliced fennel bulb and stalks, and a handful of fennel fronds.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest and ripest citrus fruits for the best flavor.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and limes, for a more complex flavor.
  • Thinly slice the citrus fruits to make them easier to eat.
  • Fennel adds a slightly sweet and licorice-like flavor to the salad. If you don't like fennel, you can substitute celery or another crunchy vegetable.
  • The peppery arugula adds a nice contrast to the sweet citrus and fennel. You can substitute another leafy green, such as spinach or kale, if you prefer.
  • Goat cheese adds a creamy and tangy flavor to the salad. You can substitute another type of cheese, such as feta or blue cheese, if you prefer.
  • A simple vinaigrette dressing is all you need to bring all the flavors of the salad together. You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve the salad immediately after assembling it so that the citrus fruits don't have time to release too much juice and water down the salad.
