This roasted beet salad with goat cheese and pistachios is light and fresh, with earthy flavor and beautiful color.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beets — , trimmed (I used purple, but golden beets will work)
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 5 teaspoons sherry vinegar — (if you don't have sherry vinegar, apple cider or rice vinegar could be used. Sherry vinegar is wood aged vinegar. )
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups baby arugula
- 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped salted roasted pistachios
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 F (205 C). Wrap beets individually in aluminum foil and place on baking sheet. Roast for 45-50 minutes, until knife (skewer) inserted into the center meets little resistance.
-
Remove beets from oven and remove foil. Let them cool, until they are cool enough to handle and rub off skins with paper towels. Cut into wedges.
-
Whisk oil, vinegar, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a large bowl. Add beets and toss to coat. Let them cool completely, while in the marinade.
-
Add arugula to beets and toss to coat. Divide between 2 smaller salad bowls (plates).
-
Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with goat cheese and pistachios.
