Roasted Beet Salad with Oranges and Honey Goat Cheese
Roasted Beet Salad with Orange Supremes and Honey Goat Cheese
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
4 medium-sized beets
2 large oranges
White Balsamic Vinaigrette
A handful of Rainbow Radish Micro Greens
2 cups arugula
2 cups kale, stems removed and roughly chopped
Honey goat cheese, crumbled (as per taste)
Instructions:
Roast the Beets:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the beets, trimming off any greens. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beets on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours or until they're easily pierced with a knife.
Remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool. Once cooled, peel off the skin and slice or dice them as you prefer.
Supreme the Oranges:
Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of each orange, revealing some flesh.
Stand each orange upright on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, follow the curve of the orange to slice away the peel and white pith, rotating the orange as you go.
Once the peel and pith are removed, hold the orange over a bowl to catch any juices. Insert the knife blade between one of the segments and the connective membrane. Slice until you reach the middle of the orange, then do the same on the other side of the segment. Lift out the segment and place it in the bowl. Repeat this process for all the segments. Saving the remaining core.
Prepare the Salad:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the arugula and kale. Lightly toss with juice from the remaining oranges and toss. just to coat the greens. You don't want them drenched, just glistening.
Add the roasted beet slices to a separate bowl and toss them lightly with a bit more vinaigrette.
Assemble the Salad:
Divide the green mixture among serving plates.
Arrange the orange supremes and roasted beets on top of the greens.
Sprinkle with Rainbow Radish Micro Greens and crumbled honey goat cheese.
Drizzle some more white balsamic vinaigrette over the top, as per your taste.
Serve and Enjoy!
This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled fish or chicken. The sweetness of the beets and oranges contrasts beautifully with the tangy vinaigrette and creamy honey goat cheese.
