Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bunches arugula, trimmed and washed well (6 cups)
Shallot Vinaigrette for Roasted Autumn Harvest Salad
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 baby red or golden beets, or 4 medium beets scrubbed and trimmed
8 shallots, peeled and cut in half if large
4 medium parsnips (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 3-inch lengths (halve the thicker end pieces lengthwise)
6 long carrots, scrubbed well or peeled, halved lengthwise
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves (from 2 sprigs)

Steps:

  • Roast beets: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets on a parchment-lined piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Wrap in foil and bake until beets are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 45 minutes for baby beets and up to 1 1/4 hours for larger beets. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then rub off skins with paper towels. Cut beets in half (or into quarters or sixths if large).
  • Meanwhile, roast shallots, parsnips, and carrots: Toss shallots, parsnips, and carrots in a large bowl with remaining 3 tablespoons oil, then season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with rosemary, tossing to coat. Roast until tender and golden, turning vegetables over once, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Prepare greens: Wash arugula and dry thoroughly, then place in a bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel (or damp paper towels). Refrigerate until needed (this will help crisp the leaves).
  • Toss vegetables and greens with vinaigrette: Toss parsnips, carrots, and shallots with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Toss beets separately with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette (to prevent their color from bleeding). Toss arugula with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette and season lightly with salt and a pinch of pepper.
  • Compose salad and serve: Line a serving platter with arugula and arrange vegetables on top. Serve salad immediately.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover Thanksgiving vegetables. I had some roasted turkey, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts, and they were all perfect in this salad.

I used a balsamic vinaigrette dressing instead of the maple vinaigrette. It was also very good.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It was still very good.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning. I added some salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and it was much better.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory dressing. However, the roasted vegetables were delicious and the goat cheese was a nice touch.
