Raw Beet Salad With Toasted Sunflower Seeds and Goat Cheese image

This is less recipe than method and ingredients. Delicious. If your Mr. Wonderful doesn't like goat cheese - gorgonzola would also work. This is a beautiful salad - glistening deep red gratings of beets, greens and dots of goat cheese.

Time 22m

Yield 4 salads, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb beet, raw
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar or 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, finely diced
1/2-3/4 cup olive oil
sea salt, lemon pepper to taste
1/2 cup soft fresh goat cheese
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
baby spinach and arugula

Steps:

  • Mix the shallots with the vinegars and let stand while you process the beets and toast the sunflower seeds.
  • Peel the beets and grate them or process them in the food processor until they are of coarsely grated consistency.
  • Toast the sunflower seeds (I stir them up quickly in a hot stainless steel pan and remove them from the pan as soon as they start to brown).
  • Mix the rest of the dressing ingredients with the vinegar/shallot mixture and add half of this to the beets and chill until ready to assemble the salad.
  • Mound the greens loosely in individual dishes, and divide the beet mixture amongst the plates.
  • Dot with goat cheese, sprinkle with sunflower seeds and drizzle more of the dressing on the greens.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is delicious and the sunflower seeds add a nice crunch.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet beets, crunchy sunflower seeds, and tangy goat cheese was a real winner.
