Beet Salad With Honey Lavender Dressing Food

BEET SALAD WITH HONEY-LAVENDER DRESSING

Steps:

• Beets: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle medium beets with olive oil in a baking pan; season with salt. Place in a single layer and add 1 cup water. Cover with parchment, then foil, and roast until knife-tender, about 1 1/2 hours. When cool enough to handle, rub off peels with paper towels (use a paring knife for tough spots); discard. Cut beets into bite-size pieces.
• Dressing: Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a medium saute pan over low. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add honey and lavender; simmer until lavender is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Puree with yolk, vinegar, and mustard in a blender or food processor until smooth. With machine running, slowly add safflower oil until combined. (If dressing is too thick, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time.)
• Salad: Combine roasted beets, chard, and pecans in a bowl. Lightly toss with 1/4 cup dressing. Place 1 tablespoon dressing on bottom of each plate, then add salad mixture and goat cheese, dividing evenly. Top with baby beets and serve, with remaining dressing on the side.

BEET AND SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing by combining the dressing ingredients in a drinking glass, small bowl, or jar. Stir/shake well. Give it a taste and adjust ingredients as needed (e.g. add more honey or vinegar).
• Peel the beets and cut off the ends. Using a regular box grater, grate them. Prep other salad ingredients and add them to a large bowl. The beets will turn everything pink, so if you don't want that, toss the salad THEN add the cheese and pears on top like I did.
• I like to season the salad itself as well as the dressing with salt & pepper, so add some salt & pepper and then toss with the dressing (shake/stir well first). Serve immediately.

HONEY BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange beets in a baking dish and pour in water; cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until beets are tender, about 1 hour. Allow beets to cool overnight; remove outer skin and chop beets into bite size pieces.
• Whisk balsamic vinegar, honey, red wine vinegar, and black pepper together in a bowl. Stir beets, onion, and walnuts into vinegar dressing. Sprinkle with blue cheese, parsley, and salt to serve.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH HONEY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Wash beets and cut off stems. Wrap beets in aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake beets at 400°F for 40 minutes to an hour until tender and a knife slides in easily (dependent on size of beets, so check to make sure they don't burn).
• Let beets cool, then peel and slice.
• In a large salad bowl, add the greens. Top with sliced beets, avocado, cheese, pistachios and dried cranberries and toss together.
• Serve with honey balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

LAVENDER AND HONEY SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients together.
• Stand for 30 mins to allow flavors to infuse.
• Stir and adjust salt and pepper again and serve.

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.

BEET SALAD WITH ARUGULA AND BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Line the bottom of a medium rimmed baking sheet with foil. Wrap each beet tightly in a sheet of foil and arrange lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until largest beet is easily pierced. Unwrap beets and cool to room temperature then peel the skins (see Pro Tip Below*) and slice into halves and then wedges.
• Toast 1/2 cup pecans on a dry skillet, tossing frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Transfer arugula to a large mixing bowl then add remaining salad ingredients: sliced beets, feta cheese, toasted pecans and dried cranberries.
• In a small mason jar, combine all dressing ingredients and shake well to combine. Drizzle over salad to taste. If not serving salad right away, shake the dressing again just before drizzling over salad.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH WALNUTS, GOAT CHEESE & HONEY-DIJON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, shallots, salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, slowly add the oil in a steady stream. (Alternatively, add all the ingredients to a jar, cover with the lid, and shake vigorously to blend.) Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Place the greens in a large bowl, drizzle with about half of the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Add as much of the remaining vinaigrette as desired and toss again. Arrange the greens on a large platter or divide onto plates, then top with beets, walnuts and goat cheese. Serve immediately.
• Note: If you'd like to roast your own beets, you'll need 1 bunch of medium beets (about 3). Preheat oven to 425°F and set an oven rack to the middle position. Wipe or scrub the beets clean, then trim stems down to one-inch (leave "tails" on). Place the beets on a large piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then wrap foil around the beets to form a neat packet. Roast directly on a rack in the middle of the oven until tender, about 1 hour. Test for doneness by piercing the largest beet with a knife. If it enters easily, it's done. Unwrap the beets and let sit until cool enough to handle. Use your hands or a paring knife to peel the skin, then cut into wedges.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: The vinaigrette can be made up to 4 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Before serving, let sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes, and then shake to re-emulsify.
