Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Salad

Time 15m

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ lb. baby beets, cooked
3 TBSP. sherry vinegar
3 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
3 TBSP. walnut oil (or more olive oil)
2 tsp. honey
½ tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 large orange, segmented
2 cups baby arugula, packed
1 cup red leaf baby lettuce
1-2 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
¼ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
½ small avocado, peeled, and sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Roast the beets (see note below). As soon and you can handle them, peel them and then slice them into ½-inch thick wedges or slices and set aside in a medium bowl.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the vinegar, oils, honey, salt and pepper. (It should make ⅓ of a cup of vinaigrette). Taste it and adjust the seasoning. Pour half of it over the beets and toss well to combine. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes. (Tossing the still-warm beets with the vinaigrette will enhance their flavor.).
  • With a sharp knife, cut away the peel and pith from the orange. Hold the orange over a small bowl (to catch the juices) and using a paring knife, slice between the membranes to release segments. Set them aside. Add any accumulated juices to the bowl with the beets.
  • Arrange the arugula and the baby lettuce on a serving platter. Spoon beets over arugula and drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Arrange the orange segments over salad and the crumbled goat cheese. Add the sliced avocado (if using) and the toasted walnuts. Season lightly, with some salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with extra olive oil.

Choosing the Best Ingredients

When it comes to making the perfect arugula, beet, and goat cheese salad, choosing the right ingredients is key. Here are a few tips to help you select the best produce for your salad:
Arugula
Arugula is the star of this salad, so it's important to choose fresh, high-quality greens. Look for leaves that are bright green and crisp. Avoid any wilted or yellowing leaves, as they may be past their prime.
Beets
Fresh, juicy beets are essential for making a delicious salad. Look for beets that are firm and heavy for their size, with smooth skin and no bruises or soft spots. If possible, opt for small or medium-sized beets, as they tend to be sweeter and more tender than larger ones.
Goat Cheese
Goat cheese adds a tangy, creamy element to this salad. When choosing goat cheese, look for a soft or crumbly variety, as it will melt nicely over the arugula and beets. You can also experiment with different flavors of goat cheese, such as herb or pepper varieties, to add extra depth to your salad.

Prepping and Cooking Your Ingredients

Once you've selected your ingredients, it's time to prep and cook them so that they're ready to be added to your salad. Here are a few tips for prepping and cooking arugula, beets, and goat cheese:
Arugula
Arugula doesn't need a lot of prep work – simply wash and dry the leaves thoroughly before using them in your salad. Be sure to remove any tough stems, as they can be bitter.
Beets
To cook beets, start by washing them and trimming off the stems and roots. Wrap them in foil and roast them in the oven until they're tender, which should take about an hour. Once they're done, let them cool slightly before peeling off the skin and slicing them thinly.
Goat Cheese
There's no need to cook goat cheese – simply crumble it up and sprinkle it over your salad. If you're using a soft variety of goat cheese, you can also try melting it slightly in the oven or microwave before adding it to your salad.

Add-Ins for Extra Flavor

While arugula, beets, and goat cheese are all delicious on their own, there are plenty of other ingredients you can add to your salad to boost the flavor even further. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Nuts and Seeds
Add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to your salad by tossing in some toasted nuts or seeds, such as walnuts, almonds, or pepitas.
Fruit
Fruit can add a sweet, juicy element to your salad. Try adding sliced apples, pears, or oranges to your arugula, beet and goat cheese recipe for a burst of flavor.
Dressed up Vinaigrette
A simple vinaigrette made with oil and vinegar is a classic dressing for arugula, beet, and goat cheese salad. But you can elevate the flavor even further by adding other ingredients into the mix, such as Dijon mustard, honey, or fresh herbs like mint and basil.
Croutons
Croutons add a satisfying crunch to any salad, and arugula, beet, and goat cheese salad is no exception. Try making your own croutons by toasting cubes of bread in the oven with olive oil and your favorite seasonings.

Tips for Presentation

Finally, once you've prepped and assembled your ingredients, it's time to present your salad in a way that's both appetizing and visually appealing. Here are a few tips for making your arugula, beet, and goat cheese salad look as good as it tastes:
Layered Salad
To create a layered salad, start by arranging a bed of arugula on the bottom of your serving dish. Next, arrange the beet slices in a circular pattern on top of the arugula, and sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the top. Finally, add any other ingredients you're using, such as nuts or fruit, and drizzle with your dressing.
Color Contrast
Use a mix of vibrant colors to make your salad look visually appealing. Arugula, beet, and goat cheese salad already has a great mix of colors, with the green arugula, red beets, and white goat cheese, but you can also add other colorful ingredients, such as orange slices or purple cabbage, for extra contrast.
Cracked Pepper
A finishing touch of freshly cracked black pepper can elevate the taste and presentation of your salad. Simply grind some pepper over the top of your salad just before serving.

Conclusion

Arugula, beet, and goat cheese salad is an easy and delicious recipe that's perfect for any meal.
