Beet And Kale Salad With Apples And Creamy Tangy Dressing Recipes

ROASTED BEET AND APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°
• With cooking spray, lightly spray a piece of foil large enough to loosely wrap quartered beets.
• Place beets on the oiled side of the foil, and loosely wrap to make a sealed package.
• Put foil-wrapped beets on a baking sheet in the center of the oven and roast 30-45 minutes until tender.
• In the last 5 minutes of roasting time, spread walnuts on the baking sheet alongside the roasting beets to toast.
• Remove beets and walnuts from the oven, remove beets from foil, and allow to cool.
• When beets are cool, slice the quarters into thinner wedges.
• Make the dressing, by whisking lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, parsley, and salt together in a bowl.
• Add apple slices, beet slices, and walnuts to the bowl and toss with the dressing.
• Serve immediately, or refrigerate and serve chilled

BEET AND KALE SALAD

• Divide the kale or salad greens among 4 plates. Top with the apple slices and beets.
• Use a potato peeler to shave curls of Parmesan cheese over each salad or dollop each with some goat cheese.
• Drizzle each salad with 2 tablespoons of the dressing.

MY FAVORITE BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the beets into a large bowl, and drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Lay out 2 large squares of aluminum foil on a work surface, and place 3 beets onto the center of each sheet. Fold the aluminum foil into 2 envelopes, sealing the beets into the packets; place the packets into a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Check for tenderness after 1 hour by piercing a beet with a fork. Open the foil, and allow the beets to cool until they can be handled; peel, and slice.
• Lay out the spinach leaves on an attractive oblong-shaped serving platter. Sprinkle pieces of tomato and avocado over the spinach leaves, and top with chopped red onion. Lay the sliced warm beets over the salad, and top with crumbled feta cheese.
• Whisk together balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup of olive oil, and Dijon mustard until smooth; pour over the salad to serve.
