Marinated Beet Noodle Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Put the beets in a large pot of water, season heavily with salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the beets from the water, cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the lemon zest and juice, parsley, olive oil, thyme and green onions in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using the same kitchen towel, remove the skins of the beets. Cut the beets into 1/2-inch-thick half-moon pieces and add to the dressing. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, add the marinated beets to each individual plate. Top with some crumbled blue cheese and watercress.

Steps:

• Drain beets, reserving 1/4 cup liquid, and slice into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slivers. Add onions and toss.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the sugar, mustard and reserved 1/4 cup liquid until dissolved. Add vinegar and bring to boil; remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Pour over the beet slices and onions, toss and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Remove from refrigerator and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with 2 inches of water; set a steamer basket (or colander) inside pan, and bring to a boil. Place beets in basket, cover pot, and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Steam until beets are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove beets. When cool enough to handle, rub with paper towels to remove skins. Cut the beets into thin slices.
• Combine beets, garlic, vinegar, oil, and 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, remove and discard garlic. Top beets with mint and goat cheese.

Steps:

• For marinade: In a large bowl combine pepper, shallot, olive oil, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoons salt. (If using different color beets, divide marinade into one bowl for each color.) Add beets to marinade; stir to coat. Let stand at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a blender or mini food processor combine yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice. Cover; blend until fluffy.
• To serve, spread tahini mixture on a large platter using the back of a spoon to create a swoosh. Lift beets out of marinade, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Place beets on tahini mixture. Sprinkle on cheese (if using), pomegranate arils, pistachios, mint, and parsley. Drizzle with any beet marinade in the bowl.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets on aluminum foil; toss with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Seal foil, and place on a baking sheet. Roast until tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly, then peel and cut into quarters.
• Place vinegar in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, pour remaining 1/4 cup oil in a steady stream until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Add beets and chives; gently toss to combine. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
