Roasted Beet and Ginger Salad image

I love to use the first batch of beets in spring for this salad. The mint is the perfect compliment to the apple cider and balsamic vinegars in the dressing.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 appetizer portions

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds medium to small beets
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
25 to 30 parsley leaves, washed and dried
20 to 30 small to medium-size mint leaves, washed and dried

Steps:

  • Cook the beets: Using a pot large enough to hold all of the beets, fill it 3/4 of the way with cold water and add the beets. Season the water generously with salt. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over low heat. When the beets are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, drain the water and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes. Peel them by "wiping" the skin off with a kitchen towel. Trim the tough parts of the tops and bottoms with a small knife and cut each beet into "sections" like pieces of an orange.
  • Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and sea salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the beets. Put the bowl in the refrigerator and allow the beets to marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • When ready to serve, add the olive oil, ginger and parsley leaves. Toss to coat the beets. Use a scissors to "snip" the mint leaves over the salad and serve immediately.

This salad is so easy to customize. I often add other vegetables, like shredded carrots or chopped walnuts. I also like to experiment with different types of dressing. Balsamic vinegar is a great substitute for the red wine vinegar.

This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I usually serve it with a simple green salad and a piece of crusty bread.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I love this salad. The roasted beets are so caramelized and sweet, and the ginger dressing is really flavorful. I've even started to make it with other root vegetables, like carrots and turnips.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I usually roast a few extra beets and then use them in this salad throughout the week. It's a great way to get a healthy dose of vegetables.
