Provided by Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 60 croustades

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 medium sized red beets
3 medium sized yellow beets
3 medium sized candy striped beets
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
50 packages crackers or croustades
1 package burrata cheese
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped, optional
Fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

Cook the beets in their own pots so the colors do not bleed together. Start the beets in cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Continue to boil until fork tender. Remove from the water and peel. The beets are easier to peel when warm. Cut the beets into 1/4-inch dice. Toss the beets with the red wine vinegar, olive oil, and the shallots. Fill each croustade, or top each cracker with burrata cheese. Top each with the beet salad and sprinkle them with parsley and fresh ground black pepper. Serve on a nice platter.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 bunches baby beets, scrubbed and trimmed
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
One 5-ounce container baby arugula
One 8-ounce container burrata cheese
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Steps:

For the beets: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Put the beets in an 8-inch square baking dish. Add the vinegar, salt, thyme sprigs and 3 tablespoons water to the baking dish. Toss well to coat. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and roast until the beets are tender all the way through, about 50 minutes. Allow the beets to cool slightly, then use a paper towel to rub off the skins. Cut the beets into quarters or sixths depending on the size. Toss with any of the remaining liquid from roasting. Set aside to cool slightly.
For the dressing: Heat a small skillet over low heat. Add the oil, shallots and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook until the shallots are soft but not brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, Dijon mustard and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the cooled oil mixture and whisk to combine.
For the salad: Add the arugula and beets to the dressing and toss gently to coat. Place the salad on a large platter and tear the burrata around the sides. Sprinkle with the pine nuts.
