Roasted Beet Peach Salad Recipes

ROASTED BEET AND PEACH SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wash and scrub the beets well.
• Place beets on a long piece of tin foil then fold the foil into a packet. Place the foil on a cookie sheet and roast 45 minutes or until tender when poked with a fork. Allow beets to cool 20 minutes. Once cool, peel the skins off using your fingers or a paring knife (they should come off in strips easily).
• Chop the beets and set them aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, walnut (or olive) oil, mustard, and honey until completely combined.
• In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens and toss with desired amount of dressing.
• Add the peach and pluot slices, roasted beets and toss again.
• Serve salad with roasted walnuts and crumbled blue cheese on top!

BALSAMIC ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a sheet pan. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size, until a small sharp knife inserted in the middle indicates that they are tender. Unwrap each beet and set aside for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets with a small, sharp knife over a piece of parchment paper to prevent staining your cutting board.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside. While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the vinaigrette (warm beets absorb more vinaigrette), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings.
• Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss it with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Put the arugula on a serving platter and then arrange the beets, almonds, and goat cheese on top. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette, if desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED BEET & PEACH SALAD

Steps:

• To roast the beets: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Lay the sliced beets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until soft. Remove from the oven and let the beets come to room temperature.
• To roast the walnuts: Add the walnuts to a baking dish and put them in the oven with the beets. Roast for 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don't start to burn.
• While the beets are roasting, mix the dressing. Add the vinegar, oil, mustard, honey, salt & pepper to a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
• For the salad: Add the lettuce/mixed greens, peaches and beets to a bowl. Mix to combine. Place the mixture on a plate. Add walnuts and goat cheese. Drizzle with the dressing.

ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degree F.
• For the roasted beets: Place the beets in a sheet of foil and place another sheet on top and create a seal around the beet. Roast the beets on a baking sheet until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool the beets in their foil packet for a few minutes, and then rub off the skins using a paring knife if needed. The beets need to still be a little warm to be able to remove the skins easily.
• While the beets are roasting, toast the almonds in a small skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Remove and cool.
• For the vinaigrette: Make the vinaigrette by stirring together the vinegar, mustard, salt and sugar, and then slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Slice the cooled and peeled beets into 1/4-inch thick slices and add half the vinaigrette, tossing to coat completely. Toss the remaining vinaigrette with the salad greens.
• Quarter and core the pear and slice it into julienne strips, about 1/8-inch thick.
• Arrange the dressed greens, and beets on a platter and top with the pear, toasted nuts, and goat cheese.
