Categories     weekday, salads and dressings

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium beets
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (or more to taste)
1/2 to 2/3 cup walnut oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
5 heads endive
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Trim the tops from the beets, leaving an inch of stalk. Place the beets in the oven on a rack and bake for one-and-a-half to two hours, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  • When the beets are cool enough to handle, flip off the skins. Cut the beets into half-inch pieces and place them in a bowl.
  • Combine the mustard, vinegar and walnut oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss the beets in three-quarters of the dressing.
  • Cut four quarter-inch slices off the bottom of the endives. Cut the slices in half vertically and add them to the beets.
  • Arrange the endive leaves in a circle around the rim of a large plate and pour the remaining dressing on top. Place the beet mixture in the middle and sprinkle with walnuts and chives.

I'm allergic to beets, so I had to substitute another vegetable. I used carrots instead and it turned out great!

This salad is way too complicated. There are too many ingredients and it takes too long to make.

I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I expected. The dressing was too tart and the beets were too earthy.

I love the color of this salad! The red and green of the beets and endive make it so visually appealing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets in the fridge and this salad was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is delicious and the endive helps to cut through the earthiness of the beets.

This salad is so refreshing and flavorful. The endive adds a nice crunch and the beets add a sweetness that balances out the tartness of the dressing.
