Balsamic Roasted Beet Salad Food

ROASTED BALSAMIC BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wash and peel the beets. Slice each beet in quarters lengthwise, and then slice each quarter into three chunks.
• Line a baking sheet with foil, and place the beets on top. Drizzle with the olive oil and vinegar, and then add salt and pepper. Gently stir to coat the beets.
• Cover with more foil and roll the edges of the two layers to create a pouch for the beets. Cook for 20 minutes.
• Remove the beets from the oven, and raise the temperature to 400 degrees. Take off the top layer of foil (watch out for steam!), and stir to mix the juices. Return to the oven and continue to cook for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Serve warm or cold, or add to a salad.

ROASTED BEET, ARUGULA, AND WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix beets, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper together on a baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until beets are tender, about 40 minutes.
• Mix roasted beets, arugula, walnuts, balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl until well combined.

RAW BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Combine beets, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, parsley, garlic, mustard, sea salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

VEGAN ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Start with the marinated chickpeas. They need to sit for a minimum of 1 hour but can be left up to overnight or even a few days. To make them, place all the ingredients in a bowl or container, mix well, cover and place in the fridge.
• Preheat the oven to 425 F. Give the beets and carrots a quick wash and scrub (leave skins on) then rub each with a few drops of olive or avocado oil. Wrap each beet in foil and place on a parchment-paper lined baking tray. Place the carrots on the baking tray as well and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
• Roast the carrots until they're very tender and starting to bubble and brown, about 30-40 minutes, depending on size. Once roasted, either chop them up or serve whole on top of your salad. I like leaving them whole as they're so tender you can easily chop with a fork while eating your salad.
• Roast the beets for 40-60 minutes, depending on size, until you can easily pierce them with a fork. Once tender, remove from the oven, open the foil and let them cool until you can handle them, about 15-20 minutes. Once they've cooled down, you can peel the skin off, cut off the ends and chop them for the salad.
• While the carrots and beets are roasting, make the balsamic vinaigrette by whisking or shaking the ingredients together until combined. Be sure to mix it again before adding to your salad as the oil may separate.
• Remove the kale leaves from the thick stems and chop it into small pieces. Add to a large mixing bowl. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a few drops of olive or avocado oil, or add a small amount of the balsamic dressing. Massage the kale with your hands hands for 1-2 minutes. Massaging the kale is optional but helps to soften it and improve the taste. I prefer it to be massaged before using in the salad. Divide the kale between 4 bowls, plates or food storage containers.
• Divide the chopped beets, carrots, corn, marinated chickpeas and pepitas between the 4 portions.
• Top each salad with equal amounts of the balsamic vinaigrette.
• Serve immediately.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH ORANGES & GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• Place beets in roasting pan or on baking sheet; drizzle with oil. Bake 45 min. to 1 hour or until tender. Remove from oven; cool 20 min. Remove skins. Slice beets; cut slices into strips.
• Meanwhile, bring vinegar and thyme to boil in small saucepan. Simmer on low heat 10 min. or until reduced to about 3 Tbsp. liquid, stirring occasionally. Strain and cool.
• Arrange endive, oranges, shallots and beets on serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic reduction; top with cheese and pepper.

HONEY BALSAMIC BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place beets in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. In a small bowl whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey. Pour over beets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and roast in a 400°F oven for 40 minutes or until beets are tender when pierced with a knife.
• On a platter combine watercress, quinoa, and beets. Drizzle with the roasting liquid. Top with chopped tarragon.

BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Use our Oven Roasted Beets or Instant Pot Beets method.
• Slice the beets into wedges. Take proper precautions as beet juice stains easily).
• In a medium bowl, make the Best Balsamic Vinaigrette.
• (optional): Place the beets in the bowl with the dressing and stir. The beets will change the color of the dressing to a bright pink color and infuse a little sweetness. If you'd rather keep the balsamic vinaigrette color, you can skip this step.
• Thinly slice the shallot. Place the greens on a plate. Remove the beets from the dressing bowl and place them on top. Add crumbles of goat cheese, shallot, and chopped pistachios. Drizzle with dressing and serve.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH RASPBERRY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To Roast the Beets: Adjust the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 400°F Rub the beets with the olive oil and wrap them together in a large piece of aluminum foil. Put the beets in a small roasting pan or baking dish and roast them for 50 minutes to an hour, until they are tender when a knife is inserted in the center.
• Remove the foil packet from the pan and let the beets cool on the foil before unwrapping. Using your fingers, peel the beets over the foil. The skins should slip off easily; if not, use a paring knife. Cut the beets into 1/4-inch matchstick slices and reserve.
• To make the Vinaigrette: Put the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, onion, jam, mustard, and sugar in the container of a blender or food processor. Process until well blended and emulsified. (You should have 1 cup.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• To Assemble the salad: In a large salad bowl, toss the greens, beets, and walnuts with half of the dressing. Season to taste with pepper. Top each serving with some of the cheese. Pass the remaining dressing at the table.

ROASTED BEET & KALE SALAD WITH BALSAMIC DRESSING

Steps:

• Make dressing: Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Tear kale into bite sized pieces, large stems removed. Place in a large bowl and gently massage.
• Thinly slice red onion and dice beets. Place in bowl.
• Re-stir dressing and pour over top. (Note: depending on your taste and how big your kale bunch is, you may not need the full amount of dressing. I like mine tangy so start with a smaller amount and go from there if you wish.)
• Toss to thoroughly combine. Sprinkle sunflower seeds over top before serving.
• Best eaten within 1-2 days. (It marinates as it sits, so I love having this in the fridge throughout the day for snacking. It does tend to dull in color due to the balsamic.)

BALSAMIC ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a sheet pan. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size, until a small sharp knife inserted in the middle indicates that they are tender. Unwrap each beet and set aside for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets with a small, sharp knife over a piece of parchment paper to prevent staining your cutting board.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside. While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the vinaigrette (warm beets absorb more vinaigrette), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings.
• Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss it with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Put the arugula on a serving platter and then arrange the beets, almonds, and goat cheese on top. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette, if desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Generously coat a heavy rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the beets on the baking sheet and spray them generously. Roast in the center of the oven until wrinkly and tender (a fork should slide through with no resistance), 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them (wrap one at a time in a kitchen towel or wear gloves and gently massage the skin away). Slice the beets in half lengthwise. Place them flat-side down and cut each half lengthwise into 3 wedges. Keep the beets in separate bowls so the colors don't combine.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper. While whisking, stream in the olive oil. Add about a third of the dressing to each of the bowls of beets and toss to coat.
• In a separate bowl, toss the mint, arugula and remaining dressing to combine. Season with salt to taste.
• To serve, place the salad mixture on a serving platter or on individual plates, top with the dressed beets and feta cheese and garnish with mint.

BEETS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 2. Trim the beets, leaving on the skin, an inch of the stem, and the wispy "tail" on the bottom of each, then scrub and drain. Place the beets in a small casserole dish just big enough to hold them. Pour the water and canola oil over the beets then cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and bake until tender and easily pierced with a sharp paring knife, about 1 1/2 hours.
• 3. Remove the casserole from the oven and uncover the beets, keeping your face averted from the escaping steam. Allow the beets to cool completely in the casserole.
• 4. Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the salt, and pepper in a medium-size bowl and whisk to blend. Taste and add more olive oil, if desired.
• 5. Peel the cooled beets with the back of a paring knife and cut into 3/8-inch slices. Add to the dressing in the bowl and toss gently but thoroughly to coat. Serve immediately or marinate, in the refrigerator, for up to 24 hours.

BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND BALSAMIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Wrap each beet in a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle generously with olive oil and pinches of salt and pepper. Place the beets on a baking sheet and roast for 40 to 90 minutes, or until soft and fork-tender. The time will depend on the size and freshness of the beets. Remove the beets from the oven, remove the foil, and set aside to cool. When they are cool to the touch, peel the skins. I like to hold them under running water and slide the skins off with my hands.
• Let the beets cool and chill them in the fridge until ready to use.
• Assemble the salad with the greens, shallots, apples, walnuts, cheese, and microgreens, if using. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette. Season with flaky sea salt and pepper and serve.
