A gorgeous, creamy chèvre paired with a slightly sweet dressing, healthy greens and roasted beets? I could eat plates upon plates of it. Table of Contents Roasted Beet Salad There’s nothing like home canned pickled beets or making borscht with beets, but sometimes roasting beets and making the into a salad is the best use of them. Using a brassica mustard – a European style seeded mustard – in your dressing really adds a decadent crunch to this salad. How to Roast Beets Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Wash small beets and cut off the top and bottom. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the beets on the baking sheet. Roast the beets, shaking the baking sheet every 15 minutes until you can pierce the beets with a fork. Remove and let the beets cool. Using food grade vinyl gloves, rub the beets until the skins slide off. Cool then use in the salad. What is Chèvre? Chèvre means goat in French, so chèvre is a creamy, decadent cheese made from goats cheese. It has become so mainstream now that you can find 4 or 5 different kinds at almost every grocery store. If you look closely at this salad, you can see that I chose a herb crusted chèvre, which just made this salad sing. If you are using goat cheese in a salad like this always choose one that is the most flavorful. How to Store Roasted Beets Beets will last for up to 3 days in the refrigerator if you want to make a larger batch and make more than one salad. Peel them once they are not longer hot and then store them in a closed container in the refrigerator. Slice and use cold in a salad. More Delicious Salads Beets are readily available at all times of year and are a great winter vegetable as well. Don’t forget to check for bags of beets in the grocery stores during the cold weather months, they are an affordable healthy option for your salads! Happy cooking!
