ROASTED BEET, GOAT CHEESE AND FENNEL SALAD



Roasted Beet, Goat Cheese and Fennel Salad image

Serve this lemony goat cheese salad as a side dish or as a meal with crunchy walnuts and tender butterhead lettuce. Each tangy-fresh salad offers fewer than 200 calories. Wrapping aluminum foil around each beet for roasting creates a small steam chamber to cook each vegetable. In addition to locking in nutrients and flavor, the aluminum foil-wrapped beets cook without getting dry.

3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon-style mustard

½ teaspoon honey
⅓ cup olive oil
Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil
2 large (8 ounce) beets
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided

8 cups torn butterhead (Boston or bibb) lettuce
¼ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
4 ounces crumbled goat cheese (chevre)

Steps:

FENNEL-APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS



Fennel-Apple Salad With Walnuts image

A bright and tangy salad cuts the heaviness of the typical Thanksgiving meal. This one, with fennel, celery, apples and toasted walnuts, is all crunch, which the carb-heavy meal can generally use more of. You can make the dressing a day ahead and store it in the fridge, but don't dress the salad until an hour before serving.
