Best 11 Lettuce And Beet Salad With Sour Cream Dressing Recipes

BEET AND BUTTER LETTUCE SALAD WITH HORSERADISH DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut off the tops of the beets, then wrap each in foil and roast until tender when pierced with a paring knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool the beets slightly, then peel them under cold running water. Cut the beets into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
• Whisk the sour cream, horseradish, vinegar and scallions together in a small bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper.
• Put the lettuce in a salad bowl and top with the beets. Drizzle the dressing on top. Toss right before serving.

• Place lettuce in a large bowl. In a small bowl, stir together sugar, vinegar and cream or sour cream until sugar dissolves and dressing is smooth. Stir in green onion. Just before serving, pour over lettuce; toss lightly.

LETTUCE AND BEET SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM DRESSING

Steps:

WINTER LETTUCE SALAD WITH ROASTED BEETS AND SHALLOT SHERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Fit the beets snugly into a pie plate or casserole pan and pour in enough water to cover the beets by one-third. Scatter some salt over the top and cover tightly with tin foil. Bake until soft but not falling apart, 30 to 40 minutes, depending on size and density. Check them with a fork for doneness.
• Combine the lettuces in a salad bowl. The mix of the bitter radicchio and the heartier escarole is not only physically gorgeous, but it tastes great too!
• Cut the ends off both oranges, and then cut the peel off in a downward motion all the way around. Save the peels, as you will use the juice in them for the dressing. Thinly slice the oranges and toss into the lettuces.
• Let the beets cool before peeling. I like to cut them into quarters, and then slices from there because I like the look, but any reasonable bite-size slice works. Toss them into the salad.
• For the shallot sherry dressing: Put the shallots into a container with a tight-fitting lid so you can really shake it for all its worth-hand emulsifying, if you will.
• Add the sugar and a good pinch salt, followed by the olive oil, vinegar and any juice that you can squeeze out of the orange peels left over. Cover the container and really shake it so it becomes completely combined and cloudy. Taste for balance; you want it to be balanced between sweet and tart, so if it needs more salt or sugar, feel free to add it.
• Dress the salad, toss with (clean!!) hands, grind a couple of grinds of pepper over it and serve.

SALAD WITH CREAM DRESSING

• Bake beets in the preheated oven until you can easily pierce through the centers with a paring knife, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove beets from oven, and allow to cool still wrapped in foil until you can handle them, 10 to 15 minutes. Rub each beet with a paper towel to remove the skin. Set aside to cool, then cut to your preference, either into chunks or slices.
• Tear lettuce leaves into pieces and add to a large bowl along with grapes and red onion. Add beets and give the salad a light stir. Drizzle some of the dressing to your taste, and toss gently until all is well coated. Store any remaining dressing tightly covered in the refrigerator.
