ROASTED-BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND WALNUTS

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large or 6 medium beets
3/4 cup walnuts
6 cups torn greens, one type or an assortment
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces goat cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400. Wash the beets, and while they are still wet, wrap them individually in foil. Put them on a rimmed baking sheet and cook, undisturbed, until you can pierce them easily with a thin-bladed knife, 60 to 90 minutes. Once the beets have cooled, peel them (I like to rub the skin off under running water), and cut them into chunks.
  • Put the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until fragrant and beginning to darken, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Rinse and dry the greens and put them in a large bowl; add the walnuts. Combine the oil, vinegar, shallot and Dijon in a jar with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Screw the lid on tightly and shake vigorously until the dressing becomes thick and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Pour some of the dressing onto the greens and toss to coat; pile the greens on 4 plates. Put the beets in the bowl, toss with some of the dressing and arrange them on top of or around the greens. Crumble the goat cheese on top, and serve.

Time 1h45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup chopped walnuts
1 large beet, top and bottom trimmed and beet greens retained
1 tablespoon walnut oil, or more to taste
2 ounces soft goat cheese
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 cup reserved beet greens, cut into very thin slivers
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
  • Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven until the nuts turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 45 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully because they burn quickly. Set walnuts aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Turn oven up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Crinkle up a piece of aluminum foil and place it into an oven-safe dish (such as a pie dish) to act as a disposable rack. Place beet onto foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the beet just starts to turn tender, about 45 minutes. Wrap beet in aluminum foil and let cool to room temperature.
  • Turn oven temperature up to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  • Peel beet with a sharp paring knife; peel skin from beet. Cut beet in half and cut halves into thick half-moon-shaped slices.
  • Drizzle walnut oil in a baking dish and brush oil over the bottom of the dish; arrange beet slices in the dish in a single layer. Crumble goat cheese into the empty spaces and over beets. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Bake beet and cheese in oven until beet pieces are sizzling and the edges of the cheese are slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle warm beet and cheese with vinegar and top with roasted walnuts, beet greens, and chives. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Select the Freshest Greens: Choose tender and vibrant salad greens like arugula, spinach, kale, or a mix of your favorites. Look for greens that are crisp and free from wilting or yellowing leaves.
  • Roast the Beets to Perfection: Roasting beets intensifies their natural sweetness and brings out their earthy flavor. Toss the beets in olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting them in a preheated oven until tender.
  • Use a Quality Goat Cheese: Opt for a creamy and tangy goat cheese that will complement the flavors of the salad. You can use a soft goat cheese for a milder flavor or a firmer goat cheese for a more pronounced tang.
  • Make a Simple Dressing: A simple dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper will enhance the flavors of the salad without overpowering them. You can also add a touch of honey or mustard for a sweeter or tangier taste.
  • Assemble the Salad Carefully: Layer the salad ingredients in a large bowl, starting with the greens, then the beets, walnuts, goat cheese, and any additional toppings. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving to maintain its freshness.
  • Conclusion:

    This salad of winter greens, walnuts, roasted beets, and goat cheese is a symphony of flavors and textures that is sure to impress your taste buds. The earthy sweetness of the roasted beets pairs perfectly with the tangy goat cheese and the crunchy walnuts, while the greens add a refreshing touch.
