Radicchio Salad With Golden Beets And Walnuts Recipes

BEET AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• In a large bowl, toss together the beets, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 tablespoon vinegar, and some salt and pepper. Arrange beets in a single layer on baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake until tender and golden around edges, about 30 minutes more. Cool; transfer to a small bowl.
• With mortar and pestle, or the back of a knife, mash garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt to form a paste. In a small bowl, whisk together with remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, then remaining 6 tablespoons oil and the tarragon. Season with pepper and additional salt, if necessary.
• Toss beets with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. In a large bowl, combine radicchio, endive and parsley. Toss with remaining vinaigrette. Add beets and goat cheese, and toss gently. Serve garnished with pistachios.

ROASTED BEET, RADICCHIO AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F. Coat beets lightly with oil. Wrap beets, individually (to avoid colour bleeding) in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven until cooked through, approximately 40 to 50 minutes.
• Let cool for 10 minutes, and then carefully peel and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• In a medium bowl, whisk vinegar with Dijon mustard, honey, salt and pepper.
• Next, while continuously whisking, pour in olive oil in a light, steady stream. Continue to whisk until olive oil is incorporated into vinegar and dressing has thickened, about 30 seconds.
• In a large bowl, toss romaine with arugula, radicchio, feta, onion, walnuts and roasted beets. Slowly add dressing, reserve remaining dressing in the fridge if not all used.

FARRO, RADICCHIO, AND ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange beets in single layer in 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish. Drizzle with vegetable oil. Cover with foil and roast until beets are tender, about 45 minutes. Cool. Trim beets; peel. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.
• Cook farro in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large bowl. Stir 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and garlic into hot farro. Cool to room temperature.
• Cut each beet into 6 to 8 wedges. Add beets, radicchio, onion, and parsley to farro; toss to incorporate evenly. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
• Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil and 3 tablespoons vinegar in small bowl. Drizzle over salad. Add feta cheese; toss to coat.
• Test-kitchen tip:
• Any type of beet (red, golden, red-and-white-striped Chioggia) would be great in this salad. To avoid stained hands, wear plastic gloves when peeling dark-colored beets.

PASTA PRIMAVERA WITH BEETS, RADISHES AND RADICCHIO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar and beet juice in a large bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the beets, radishes and radicchio and toss well to coat. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 4 minutes; add to the beet mixture and toss to coat.
• Add the pasta, basil and 1/4 cup each ricotta salata and reserved cooking water to the beet mixture; season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat, adding enough of the remaining cooking water to loosen. Top with the remaining ricotta salata.

RADICCHIO SALAD WITH GOLDEN BEETS AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the sherry vinegar or lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, salt to taste, Dijon mustard and garlic until combined well. Whisk in the grapeseed oil and the walnut oil. Add freshly ground pepper to taste.
• Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with the dressing and serve.

RADICCHIO AND BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Trim the beet stems, leaving about 1 inch of the stems on the beets. Reserve the greens. Put the beets in a pot, and fill with water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, and cook until the beets are almost tender, about 30 minutes. Add the trimmed beet greens, and cook until the beets and greens are tender, about 15 minutes more. Drain and let cool.
• Peel the cooled beets, and slice them into 1/4-inch half-moons, then put them in a serving bowl. Squeeze out the excess liquid from the beet greens, and chop coarsely. Combine with the shredded radicchio and provolone or cheddar, and toss them into the serving bowl. Drizzle with the vinegar and olive oil, and season with salt. Toss well again, and serve.

ENDIVE, RADICCHIO AND WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• Cut 1 1/2 inches from the root end of the 2 endives and the radicchio head, and cut these root end pieces into 1/2-inch chunks. (You should have 3 about cups.) Reserve the pointed endive leaf tips and the radicchio leaves for use later in the recipe. Combine the root end chunks with the shredded carrot and nuts in a bowl.
• Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, then add the dressing to the endive and radicchio pieces, carrots, and nuts. Toss well.
• Arrange the radicchio leaves attractively on four plates, and spoon the dressed mixture into the center of the leaves. Arrange the endive leaf tips so they stand, pointed tips up, next to one another all around the dressed salad. Serve immediately.
