Arugula Beet Orange And Goat Cheese Salad Recipes

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 SALAD WITH ORANGES AND CREAMY GOAT CHEESE DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Trim the beets and place on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the beets in the foil and bake until tender, about 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel the beets, slice in half lengthwise, and then slice into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons. For the dressing, heat 3/4 cup of the orange juice and the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until the mixture is reduced to about 3 tablespoons, about 30 minutes. Cool completely. Whisk the orange juice reduction with the olive oil, the remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice, the goat cheese, champagne vinegar, heavy cream and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut off both ends of the oranges. Carefully cut off the skin and pith, and then slice the oranges in half and then into 1/4-inch half-moons. Mix together the arugula and onions in a large salad bowl. Divide the salad among 4 plates. Arrange the oranges and beets over each salad and drizzle with the dressing. Cook's Note: If using both golden beets and red beets, wrap them separately so the red beets don't dye the golden beets while they cook.

ORANGE, ROASTED BEET, AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wrap beet tightly in parchment paper-lined aluminum foil; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 45 to 50 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub off skins, using paper towels to keep your hands from staining. Cut into wedges.
• Meanwhile, prepare oranges; Slice off both ends of each with a paring knife. Cut away the peel and white pith, following the curve of the fruit. Holding the fruit over a bowl, cut along membranes to release whole segments. Squeeze juice from membranes into another bowl, and add any accumulated juice from the segments.
• Add oil, vinegar, and mustard to orange juice; season with salt and pepper, and whisk to combine. Add arugula, and toss to coat with dressing. Divide arugula among four plates. Top with beet wedges, orange segments, and goat cheese. Serve immediately.

ARUGULA, BEET, ORANGE AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• Roast the beets (see note below). As soon and you can handle them, peel them and then slice them into ½-inch thick wedges or slices and set aside in a medium bowl.
• Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the vinegar, oils, honey, salt and pepper. (It should make ⅓ of a cup of vinaigrette). Taste it and adjust the seasoning. Pour half of it over the beets and toss well to combine. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes. (Tossing the still-warm beets with the vinaigrette will enhance their flavor.).
• With a sharp knife, cut away the peel and pith from the orange. Hold the orange over a small bowl (to catch the juices) and using a paring knife, slice between the membranes to release segments. Set them aside. Add any accumulated juices to the bowl with the beets.
• Arrange the arugula and the baby lettuce on a serving platter. Spoon beets over arugula and drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Arrange the orange segments over salad and the crumbled goat cheese. Add the sliced avocado (if using) and the toasted walnuts. Season lightly, with some salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with extra olive oil.
