3 medium yellow beets (about 1 pound), stems trimmed off
3 medium red beets (about 1 pound), stems trimmed off
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups baby leaf spinach
1/4 pound whole piece blue cheese (frozen)
Toasted almonds

Pinch salt and pepper

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.
