Roasted Beet Pear And Arugula Salad With Hazelnut Vinaigrette Food

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.

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.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH ASIAN PEAR AND ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Put the beets and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a bowl and toss to coat. Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast for about 30 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Unwrap the beets and set aside until cool enough to handle, then slip off their skins. Dice the beets into 1 inch cubes.
• Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons oil with the vinegar and shallot. Season with salt and pepper.
• Core and julienne the Asian pear. Put the slices in a bowl of cold water mixed with a little lemon juice (acidulated water) to keep them from turning brown and crisp them a little. Drain the pear just before using.
• In a large bowl, toss the arugula with the beets and Asian pear. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad, toss gently, and season with salt and pepper.
