Provided by Julesong

Categories     Spinach

Time 1h

Yield 12 1 cup servings, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

6 beets
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil or 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
2 fennel bulbs, with stalks (1 1/4 pounds)
2 cups sliced Belgian endive (about 2 small heads)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
6 ounces fresh Baby Spinach
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or 1/4 teaspoon tricolor pepper
3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange rind
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil
1/2 teaspoon finely minced fresh shallot, to taste (optional)
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 pinch nutmeg, to taste
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons reserved minced fennel leaves
1 tablespoon finely crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Trim the beets, leaving the root and about 1 inch of the stem, then scrubbing them with a vegetable brush. Wearing gloves (if you like), peel the beets (the gloves prevent them from staining your hands), and cut them into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
  • Pan spray a cooking sheet, then drizzle with the oil, tossing once to coat. Bake in oven at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes, stirring twice, or until the beets are tender.
  • While beets are roasting, prepare the other vegetables and dressing.
  • Rinse the fennel bulbs to make sure they're thoroughly clean. Remove the tough outer leaves, retaining the feathery fronds. Remove fronds from leaves/stalks and mince them to measure 2 tablespoons. Remove stalks from fennel and discard.
  • Cut the cleaned bulbs in half, lengthwise, discarding the cores. Cut the divided bulbs into 1/8 to 1/4-inch slices.
  • Slice the Belgian endives into whatever width you prefer, although it's nice if they're thinner than the fennel pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine the fennel, endive, walnuts, spinach, salt, and pepper. Toss gently; set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the vinegars, honey, orange rind, orange juice, basil, shallot (if using) olive oil, Dijon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • When beets are done roasting, remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  • Drizzle the fennel mixture with the whisked dressing, then add the roasted beets. Toss to combine. Tidy up the edges of the serving bowl with a napkin. Garnish the salad with the minced fennel fronds and feta cheese (if using), and serve.
  • Makes about 12 servings, 1 cup each.
