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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for small to medium-sized beets with smooth skin and no bruises or blemishes. Fresh beets should have their greens still attached.
  • Roast the beets properly: To ensure even cooking, toss the beets in olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting them at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for about an hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Let the beets cool: Once the beets are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling them. This will make them easier to peel and cut.
  • Use a variety of toppings: To add flavor and texture to your roasted beet salad, consider using a variety of toppings such as crumbled blue cheese, goat cheese, toasted walnuts, pecans, or almonds, and fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard is a great way to enhance the flavors of the roasted beets and other salad ingredients.
