Roasted Beet And Pickled Herring Salad With Mustard Buttermilk Dressing Recipes

CREAMY GARLIC-BUTTERMILK DRESSING

• Mix all ingredients by shaking in 1-quart jar with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Shake well before dressing. Good on salad greens, seafood salad or boiled potatoes.

SPRING LAYERED SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS AND BUTTERMILK DRESSING

Steps:

• Toss the onions with 2 tablespoons each vinegar and cold water and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, tossing occasionally. (The onions will turn bright pink.) Strain.
• Meanwhile, set up a steamer in a pot of simmering water. Add the asparagus, and steam until bright green and crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove, spread out on a baking sheet and let cool.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, Parmesan, mayonnaise, garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl.
• Using a straight-sided 3-quart tall glass bowl for 1 large salad or four 16-ounce wide-mouth glass jars with lids for 4 individual salads, make a first layer with half the arugula, then add the following in separate layers: the radishes, half the broccoli, the snap peas, the pickled red onion, the remaining arugula, the remaining broccoli, and the asparagus and egg. Sprinkle the top with the almonds. (The salad can be put together, covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.)
• If making 1 salad, just before serving, transfer it to a large bowl, toss with about half the dressing and season with salt and pepper. If making 4 salads, add dressing to each jar, season with salt and pepper, cover with the lid and shake to coat. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.

MUSTARD-GLAZED SALMON SALAD WITH LIGHT BUTTERMILK DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and preheat a rimmed baking sheet in the oven.
• Cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes. Combine 2 tablespoons of oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, thyme, and a pinch of black pepper in a large bowl. Add bread cubes and, using your hands, toss to coat. Transfer to a hot baking sheet, spread in a single layer, and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. If your oven has convection, turn it on to help brown croutons all over. Otherwise, turn them halfway through cooking for even browning. Remove and let cool on paper towels. Wipe the baking sheet clean, and then return it to the oven to get hot.
• Rinse salmon and set on a sheet of heavy-duty foil.
• Combine honey mustard, remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, dill, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and remaining pepper in a small bowl. Spread over salmon and transfer to a hot baking sheet, using foil as handles.
• Roast until fish is still filmy and slightly moist in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
• Whisk together vinegar, sour cream, buttermilk, garlic, scallion, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in oil in a slow, steady stream. Add romaine, greens, and carrots and toss gently to coat.
• Divide salad among plates and scatter on tomatoes. Using tongs, break up fish into bite-size chunks and arrange over each salad. Top with croutons.

PICKLED BEET AND HERRING SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, sugar, and salt until sugar is dissolved, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking.
• Arrange herring and beets on a platter and drizzle with half of vinaigrette.
• Toss watercress and endives with remaining vinaigrette, then mound over herring and beets.

ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Wash beets. Drizzle whole beets with 1 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper and wrap in a tin foil pouch. Roast for 1 hour or until fork tender. Peel beets, cut into slices and set aside.
• Whisk together the reserved juice from segmenting the orange, balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoons olive oil. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
• Combine sliced beets, orange segments, red onion and dressing in a bowl.
• Spoon the beet salad over a bed of arugula and top with chopped walnuts and crumbled goat cheese.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH PICKLED ONIONS AND FETA

Steps:

• Combine the onion, vinegar, and a couple of pinches of salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• If using baby beets, leave the skin on but halve or quarter them as needed so that they're all about 1 inch thick. If using medium or large beets, peel and cut into 1-inch chunks.
• Fit a steamer basket in a large pot, add water just to the bottom of the basket, and arrange the beets in a snug single layer. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to maintain a vigorous simmer. Cook until the beets are completely tender when pierced with a skewer, about 30 minutes. (Keep an eye on the water level during cooking, and add more if it threatens to dry up.) Remove from the heat and let cool. If you're using baby beets, slip the skins off as soon as they're cool enough to handle.
• Reserving the liquid, remove the onion from the vinegar and add to the beets. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, mustard, honey, 1 tablespoon of the reserved vinegar, and a few big pinches of salt.
• Add the dressing, the parsley, and all but 2 tablespoons of the feta to the beets. Toss well and taste; season with more salt or vinegar as needed. Garnish with a sprinkling of the remaining feta on top.
• Note
• The beautiful hue of beets will stain your hands and clothes. Wear gloves and an apron if pink isn't your color!
• Tip
• Use any color beets you have available; if you choose to use both golden and red beets, toss them with the dressing separately to keep the red beets from staining the yellow ones.

ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap beets loosely in aluminum foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a knife or skewer, 50 to 60 minutes. Unwrap and cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Peel beets and cut into chunks.
• Mix vinegar and maple syrup together; season with salt and pepper. Pour over beets. Refrigerate until beets absorb the flavors, at least 1 hour. Serve cold.

GREEN SALAD WITH ROASTED BEETS AND PICKLED RHUBARB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub beets, then place on a piece of parchment-lined foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Wrap in foil and roast until fork-tender, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Rub off skins and discard. Halve beets and cut into 1/2-inch wedges (you should have 1 1/2 cups).
• Whisk pickling liquid into mustard, then gradually whisk in remaining 4 tablespoons oil and dill; season to taste. Toss lettuce, beets, and pickled rhubarb with 2 to 3 tablespoons dressing; season to taste. Serve, sprinkled with more herbs and drizzled with more dressing.
