Roasted Beet Avocado And Granny Smith Apple Tower Recipes

ROASTED BEET, AVOCADO, AND GRANNY SMITH APPLE TOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Coat the beets with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and season with1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Individually wrap each beet with aluminum foil. Place beets on a baking sheet and roast for 45 to 60 minutes, until they are fork tender.
• When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin. Slice the peeled beets crosswise.
• Cut the avocado in half crosswise and remove the pit and skin. Continue to slice crosswise into rings. Squeeze lemon juice to prevent browning.
• Prepare the apples the same way as the avocado. Remove the core but do not peel the skin.
• Divide the beets, apples, and avocados into 6 servings. On each serving dish alternate and stack the beet, apple, and avocado slices. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with goat cheese crumbles and garnish with parsley and pine nuts.

BEET, FETA AND GRANNY SMITH APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Wash the beets, but do not peel.
• Place in a very deep pot and cover with cold water until floating. Bring to a boil, cut back to a simmer and cook for about 40 minutes or until tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Note - Beets can be a bit messy and stain terribly. By using a very deep pot you won't have as much splattering.
• While the beets are cooking, make the salad dressing by combining the ingredients above starting with the shallot and ending with the freshly ground pepper. Shake well.
• Chop the red onion, slice the green apple, place them in a large bowl and toss with the salad dressing and the feta cheese.
• When beets are done, cool, peel, cut in half and then slice thinly.
• Toss with the apples, onion and cheese mixture.
• Garnish with the scallions and dill.
• Enjoy!
