Colorful Beet Salad On Arugula With Sherry Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash beets and cut the stalks to 1/2 inch. Reserve beet greens. Put beets on a sheet of aluminum foil and form a pouch, sealing tightly. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes.
• Remove from oven and allow beets to steam in pouch 10 minutes longer. Take beets out of pouch; place in refrigerator. When cool, slip beets out of their skins and slice. Set aside.
• To make vinaigrette, whisk together mustard, vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Toss beets with the vinaigrette and serve on a bed of arugula.

Steps:

• For the beets: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lay out a large sheet of foil on top of a roasting dish and spread the beets across evenly on the sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Top with another sheet of foil and crimp to seal the edges. Poke holes in the top to allow steam to escape. Place in the oven and roast until the beets are tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven. Allow to cool in the foil pouch before loosening the skins and discarding. Quarter the peeled beets and place in a large bowl.
• For the cherry vinaigrette: Drain the cherries and roughly chop. Whisk together the vinegars (including the red wine vinegar from the cherries) and cherries while slowly drizzling in the olive oil so it lightly emulsifies. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the salad: Toss the warm beets with the cherry vinaigrette. Add the kale, pepitas, goat cheese and mint, continuing to toss. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lay the beets on a large sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with the oil, toss the thyme on top, and season with salt and pepper. Fold up the foil tightly to make a sealed pouch and put it on a sheet pan. Bake until the beets are tender when pierced, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. (Drop a knife in the center of 1 beet; if it slides out without resistance, they're done.) Let the beets cool to room temperature and put them in a large mixing bowl. Add the arugula, celery leaves, and walnuts; toss to combine.
• To make the blue cheese dressing: Put the blue cheese and sour cream in a bowl, mashing with a fork to combine. Add the chives, lemon juice, and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper; mix to incorporate, leaving a few chunks of cheese in the dressing. Thin out the dressing with a tablespoon of water, if you wish, to smooth out the consistency.
• Pour the blue cheese dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat; season with salt and pepper. Put the salad on a chilled platter and serve.

Steps:

• Heat (toaster) oven to 400 degrees.
• Wash beets and cut the stalks. Put beets on a sheet of aluminum foil and form a pouch, sealing tightly. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes.
• Remove from oven and allow beets to steam in pouch 10 minutes longer. Take beets out of pouch; place in refrigerator. When cool, slip beets out of their skins and slice. Set aside.
• To make vinaigrette, whisk together mustard, vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Toss beets with the vinaigrette and serve on a bed of arugula.

Steps:

• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the orange juice, balsamic vinegar, sherry or red wine vinegar, salt and pepper, and oils. Taste and adjust the acidity, adding a little more vinegar or orange juice if desired.
• Toss the beets with 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Toss the arugula with 3 tablespoons of the remaining dressing and arrange on a platter or in a wide bowl. Arrange the beets and oranges on top of the arugula in an alternating pattern and drizzle on the remaining dressing. Top with the cilantro and walnuts, and serve.
