Roasted Beet and Gorgonzola Salad
Rate this Recipe
Serves 4 |
Hearty, tasty and easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. red beets, washed, stems and leaves removed |
1/2 lb. golden beets, washed, stems and leaves removed |
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, unsalted and shelled |
1 bulb fennel, cored, halved and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices |
6 cups mache |
1 tablespoon minced shallots |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
6 oz crumbled blue cheese |
8 French bread croutons, for serving |
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425° F.
- Wrap the red beets in 1 large piece of aluminum foil, and the golden beets in another large piece of aluminum foil, closing the packets tightly. Roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, unwrap the beets and cool. When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the beets in a small bowl.
- Spread the sunflower seeds on a small baking sheet and toast lightly in the oven, about 3 minutes, shaking once during cooking to turn. Remove from the oven and cool.
- Place the fennel and mache in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix together the shallots, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and whisk in the oil in a steady stream to emulsify. Toss the beets with a small amount of the dressing, and the fennel and mache with the remaining dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide the mache and fennel among 4 salad plates. Arrange the beets on top of the greens, and top with the crumbled cheese. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of seeds over each salad and serve with toasted French bread croutons.
