Recommended Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Trim the beets, leaving about 1 inch of the stem end and about 1 inch of the root. Scrub them vigorously. Arrange the beets in a foil-lined Dutch oven (lined to prevent staining) or a large baking dish, and toss them with the oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover the pot with a lid or foil and roast at 400°F for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the beets are tender. Test with a skewer or knife. Remove the beets and let them cool enough to handle. Peel and dice the beets and set them aside.2 pounds medium beets | 1 tbsp vegetable oil | Kosher salt | Freshly ground black pepper
- In a jar with a screw-top, combine the vinegar, oil, mustard, and one pinch each of salt and pepper or to taste. Put the lid on and shake until well blended. Alternatively, whisk the dressing ingredients in a bowl.1/4 cup balsamic vinegar | 1/4 cup olive oil | 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Arrange the greens on a platter or in a large serving bowl and toss with a few tablespoons of the dressing, just enough to lightly coat. Arrange the diced beets, sliced red onion, toasted pecans, and goat cheese on the greens. Drizzle lightly with more dressing and serve the remaining dressing on the side.3 to 4 ounces salad greens | 1/4 cup red onion | 1/2 cup toasted pecan halves | 3 to 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
