Green Salad With Pickled Beets Eggs And Goat Cheese 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.

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.

GREEN SALAD WITH PICKLED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet. Bake until toasted, 6 to 7 minutes. Let cool.
• Make the pickled shallot: Combine the vinegar, honey and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until hot, about 30 seconds. Add the shallot and let sit 15 to 20 minutes.
• Combine the lettuces and radicchio in a large bowl. Remove the shallot from the pickling liquid and add to the salad along with the toasted walnuts. Whisk the sour cream, olive oil and mustard into the pickling liquid; season with pepper. Drizzle over the salad, season with salt and pepper and toss.
