RUSSIAN BEET SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND PRUNES

Steps:

• To cook the beets, pre-heat the oven to 400F. Place the beets into a baking dish. Add about 1/2 inch of water. Cover the dish with aluminum foil making sure the foil doesn't touch the beets. Leave a small opening at one corner to allow the steam to escape. Place the baking dish into the oven and bake the beets for about 1.5 hour or until you can easily pierce them with a fork. Let the beets cool completely before peeling them and making the salad.
• To make the salad, slice the beets into small dice or you can also grate them.
• Place the beets into a salad bowl. Add the walnuts, prunes and sour cream. If you are making the garlicky version, add the garlic too. Season with salt and mix to combine.
• Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. This salad also tastes great the next day. Store in the fridge in a glass container with a tight lid for up to 48 hours.

BEET SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Put the beets in a saucepan with water to cover and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them--the skins should slide right off with a bit of pressure from your fingers. If they don't, use a paring knife to scrape off any bits that stick. Cut each beet into bite-sized wedges.
• Whisk the vinegar with salt and pepper, to taste, in a large bowl. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow steady stream to make a dressing. Toss the cut beets in the dressing; set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and oven-toast, stirring once, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Cool.
• Toss the arugula and escarole with the beets and divide among 4 plates. Scatter the walnuts and goat cheese on top. Serve.
