ROASTED BEET SALAD

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound beets, roots and stems trimmed
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 shallots, peeled and halved
2 oranges
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
12 ounces mixed greens
2 to 3 tablespoons salted sunflower seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Set the beets on a baking sheet lined with a two layers of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then wrap the beets in the first layer of foil. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the beets are fork tender, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, place shallots in a small bowl, drizzle with another 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss well. After the beets have roasted for 45 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully place the shallots directly on the second layer of aluminum foil. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes, until the shallots are caramelized and soft and the beets are fully cooked.
  • Let the beets cool in the foil for at least 5 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a large bowl and set aside. When the beets are cool enough to handle, use a paper towel to rub off the skins. Cut the beets into wedges and add them to the bowl with the shallots.
  • Trim the tops and bottoms off the oranges with a paring knife or a small serrated knife. Set the oranges on one of the cut ends and carefully cut away the skins, beginning at the top and following the curve of the fruit down to the bottom. Slice the oranges crosswise into thin slices. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, mustard, some salt and pepper, and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Pour the dressing over the beets and shallots; toss to combine. Add the mixed greens and the orange slices; toss again. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds.

ROASTED BEET, PEACH AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Roasted Beet, Peach and Goat Cheese Salad image

This salad is a bit of work, but it's so delicious and always impresses guests. Mache can be hard to find, so you may omit it and just use arugula, but it adds a great nutty flavor if you can find it.

½ cup balsamic vinegar

Tips:

  • To roast the beets perfectly, start by scrubbing them well to remove any dirt or blemishes. Then, trim the tops and bottoms of the beets, leaving about an inch of stem intact. Drizzle the beets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap each beet in a foil packet and roast at 425°F for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  • You can use any type of nuts in this salad, but pecans are a classic choice that pairs well with the sweet beets and tangy vinaigrette. To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly browned.
  • To make the vinaigrette, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. You can also add a pinch of dried thyme or oregano for extra flavor.
  • When assembling the salad, start with a bed of arugula or mixed greens. Then, top with the roasted beets, shallots, pecans, and goat cheese. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This roasted beet, shallot, and pecan salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The roasted beets are sweet and tender, the shallots add a bit of tang, and the pecans add a touch of crunch. The goat cheese adds a creamy richness that balances out the flavors of the salad. The vinaigrette is light and tangy, and it ties all of the flavors together. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
