Marinated Beet Noodle Salad Recipes

MARINATED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Drain beets, reserving 1/4 cup liquid, and slice into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slivers. Add onions and toss.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the sugar, mustard and reserved 1/4 cup liquid until dissolved. Add vinegar and bring to boil; remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Pour over the beet slices and onions, toss and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Remove from refrigerator and serve at room temperature.

MARINATED BEET SALAD WITH WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Prepare the beets: Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400 degrees. Place a sheet pan underneath to catch any drips from the beets.
• Trim the greens, tops and stems from the beets. Wash thoroughly and wrap in aluminum foil packages, about 4 beets per package. Place the packages directly on the oven rack and bake until beets are easily pierced by a fork or knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on size. (No need to unwrap the beets to test them.)
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine shallots, oil, vinegar and a lavish sprinkling of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Remove beets from oven and carefully open packages to let the steam escape. Let cool at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
• Unwrap beets and use a peeler or your fingers to remove any tough skin. Dice beets neatly into bite-size pieces. Add to bowl with shallot mixture, mix well and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours. Stir occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a toaster oven or 350-degree oven, toast nuts until golden, about 5 minutes. If unsalted, sprinkle with salt. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
• Prepare the goat cheese: In a bowl, mix or whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Keep whipping until cheese is fluffy and soft. Taste and season with additional vinegar and salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve, pile beets on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon remaining dressing over the top. Spoon dollops of goat cheese mixture on and around the beets, then tuck in herbs and/or greens. Sprinkle with nuts and serve immediately.

MARINATED BEET AND STILTON SALAD

Steps:

• Put the beets in a large pot of water, season heavily with salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the beets from the water, cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the lemon zest and juice, parsley, olive oil, thyme and green onions in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using the same kitchen towel, remove the skins of the beets. Cut the beets into 1/2-inch-thick half-moon pieces and add to the dressing. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, add the marinated beets to each individual plate. Top with some crumbled blue cheese and watercress.

• For marinade: In a large bowl combine pepper, shallot, olive oil, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoons salt. (If using different color beets, divide marinade into one bowl for each color.) Add beets to marinade; stir to coat. Let stand at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a blender or mini food processor combine yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice. Cover; blend until fluffy.
