Best Endive Beet And Red Onion Salad Recipes

BEET, ENDIVE, AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets in an 8-by-8-inch baking pan coated with olive-oil cooking spray; cover with foil. Place in oven; roast until tender, 45 to 55 minutes, depending on size. Allow beets to cool, remove skins, and cut into 3/4-inch chunks, reserving half a peeled beet for vinaigrette.
• Using a paring knife, remove peel, pith, and outer membranes from the oranges. Carefully cut each segment away from membranes, collecting juice and segments in a bowl. Squeeze any remaining juice from membranes before discarding. Drain segments, and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup juice.
• Place reserved half beet, reserved orange juice, red-wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a blender; puree until smooth. With motor running, add canola oil, and process until combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
• Place lettuce, endive, reserved beets, oranges, and remaining parsley in a bowl. Just before serving, add vinaigrette, and toss. Garnish with ricotta salata, and serve.

BEET AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH GARLIC AND HERB VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Place the beets on top, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, then fold the long and short edges of the aluminum foil up to the middle and roll together, making a packet with the beets inside. Put in the oven and roast until fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (Can be done a day or two ahead of time.) Allow to cool, then slip the skins from the beets, trim the ends, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
• Quarter the endives lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 1/2-inch thick moons. Combine the beets and endive in a salad bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve immediately.
• In a small glass bowl, melt the salt in the vinegar, then add the pepper, shallot, garlic, mustard, and herbs and combine well. Whisk in the olive oil in slow, steady stream until the dressing is thickened. Alternately, place all ingredients in a glass jar, close the lid, and shake vigorously.
