Beet Salad With Goat Cheese And Balsamic Food

BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Place beets into a saucepan, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until tender. Drain and cool, then cut in to cubes.
• While the beets are cooking, place the walnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat. Heat until warm and starting to toast, then stir in the maple syrup. Cook and stir until evenly coated, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice concentrate, balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make the dressing.
• Place a large helping of baby greens onto each of four salad plates, divide candied walnuts equally and sprinkle over the greens. Place equal amounts of beets over the greens, and top with dabs of goat cheese. Drizzle each plate with some of the dressing.

ROASTED BEET AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD WITH BALSALMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Clean beets thoroughly. Slice in half with a sharp knife, then place in a small baking dish lined with parchment. Drizzle half of the olive oil over the beets; bake 40-45 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
• Remove beets from oven; allow to cool slightly. In small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Remove the skin of the beets and discard. Dice beets into bite-sized pieces.
• Arrange salad mix on plate, sprinkle with beets and goat cheese crumbles. Drizzle with balsamic dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

ROASTED BEET AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
• Wash your beets and drizzle with olive oil.
• Lay them on foil, and then cover with foil and crimp the edges to seal them in. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes.
• You should be able to pierce with a knife and having easily go in.
• Once they are done, let them cool completely and then peel and slice them up.
• While the beets are roasting make the balsamic dressing.
• Wash and chop your romaine lettuce.
• Fill your bowl with lettuce, beets, sprinkle pieces of goat cheese all over the salad, and then toss walnuts on top.
• You can drizzle the dressing over the top, or you can serve it up individually and let each person pour it on themselves.
• We like to pour it on as we serve it so that if we have any salad left over, we can store it in the fridge separately and not have soggy salad. It will keep longer in the fridge without the dressing on it.

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.

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.
