Beet, Grapefruit, and Chèvre Salad
Makes 4-6 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time (for beets) 1-11/2 hours
Ingredients:
| 1 |
bunch golden beets, scrubbed
and trimmed (about 1/2 pound
beets as peeled wedges) |
6 |
tablespoons olive oil |
| 2 |
ruby red grapefruits, sectioned (1/2 cup sections) |
4 |
cups mized baby greens |
| |
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste |
1/2 |
cup fresh goat cheese (chèvre), crumbled |
Directions:
- Heat oven to 400ºF. Rub beets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, prick all over with a fork, wrap in foil, and place on a baking sheet. Roast for about 1¼ hours, until beets are tender but not soft. Remove foil and let cool, then slip off skins, cut in half, and slice into wedges ¼ inch thick.
- Combine beets, grapefruit sections, and baby greens in a large bowl. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and toss gently to coat. (The grapefruit juice and olive oil make a light dressing.) Before serving, crumble chèvre over the top.
