Roasted Beet Apple And Goat Cheese Salad Recipes

BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE, GREEN APPLE, AND HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place red beets in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer and add enough water to come three quarters of the way up sides of beets. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and drizzle with grapeseed oil. Cover with foil and bake until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Transfer beets to a cutting board. When just cool enough to handle, remove skins, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and transfer to a bowl.
• Meanwhile, place baby beets in small saucepan and cover with 2 inches cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. Drain beets; when just cool enough to handle, remove skins; cut into halves or wedges, depending on size; and transfer to another bowl.
• Whisk together honey, olive oil, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing; divide remaining dressing between bowls of warm beets; toss beets to coat.
• Halve lemon and squeeze juice into a bowl of cold water; drop lemon halves in it. Peel apple, cut into small pieces (you should have about 1 cup), and submerge in lemon water. When ready to serve, drain apple and blot dry. Arrange beets on a serving platter and drizzle with reserved dressing. Top with apple, goat cheese, and sprouts and serve immediately.

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.

APPLE AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the greens, apples, raisins and grapes. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, honey, lemon juice and garlic. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with walnuts and goat cheese.

ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare the beets by cutting off the leaves and stems, leaving just about 1-inch attached to the beet root. Wash the beets well and drizzle them with a little olive oil before wrapping in aluminum foil. Bake for 50-60 minutes until you can easily stick a knife in the beets. Remove the beets from the oven and unwrap. Let them sit until cool enough to handle, then rub the skins off with a paper towel or your hands. Slice the beets into bite-size chunks.
• Mix vinaigrette ingredients in a mason jar with a lid and shake well until combined, or add to a bowl and whisk well.
• Add the salad greens to a large bowl. Add half the vinaigrette and toss well. Pile the dressed greens on individual salad plates, then top with beets, goat cheese, and pistachios. Drizzle with remaining dressing.

ROASTED BEET, APPLE AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• Clean beets, remove root tip and cut off stem and leaves, reserving and blanching until soft. Poke the beets all over with a fork and roast in a 400° F oven until tender when poked with a paring knife, 45 minutes to 1-one half hours, depending on the beets. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then peel the beets. The beets are now ready to cut into six or eight slices depending on the size. Cut the stems into 1" pieces. Set all in a bowl. Whisk the oil and vinegar. Add the stems and fruit. Season with salt and pepper. Toss well. Set on a plate dividing the remaining juice. Sprinkle with the goat cheese and serve.

BEET, APPLE AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk 1/2 minced shallot, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard and 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar in a bowl. Slowly whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil until emulsified; season with salt and pepper. Toss half of the dressing with 4 cups mesclun greens; divide between 2 plates. Top with sliced roasted beets, sliced Granny Smith apple, crumbled goat cheese and chopped toasted pecans. Drizzle with the remaining 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.

BEET AND MARINATED GOAT CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing: Combine the oil, vinegar, apple juice, thyme, pepper, salt and garlic in a small bowl and whisk to blend. Season with additional salt and pepper.
• For the salad: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the goat cheese in a medium bowl. Drizzle with just enough dressing to moisten. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Wrap each beet in foil. Place the beets directly onto the oven rack and roast until tender, about 50 minutes. Eight minutes before the beets are tender, place the green beans in a pie dish. Add the oil and a pinch each salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast the green beans alongside the beets until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Remove the foil from the beets and set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut each beet into 6 to 8 wedges.
• Combine the lettuces in a large bowl. Add the green beans and apple slices and top with the beet wedges. Sprinkle the goat cheese on top. Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss until coated.
