Mixed Green Salad With Beets And Pistachios Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Separately wrap red and golden beets tightly in double layers of foil and roast in middle of oven until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Unwrap beets.
• While beets are cooling slightly, whisk together shallot, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then add oil in a stream, whisking.
• When beets are cool enough to handle, slip off and discard skins. Separately cut red and golden beets into 1/4-inch dice and put in separate bowls. Add 2 1/2 tablespoons dressing to each bowl and toss to coat.
• Place cookie cutter in center of 1 of 8 salad plates. Put one eighth of red beets in cutter and pack down with your fingertips. Crumble 2 teaspoons goat cheese on top, then one eighth of golden beets, packing them down. Gently lift cutter up and away from stack. Make 7 more servings in same manner. Drizzle each plate with 1 teaspoon dressing and scatter with some pistachios.

• Place greens in a large bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss to coat. Top with beets, cheese and pumpkin seeds. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Tear the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large salad bowl. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, and onion. Sprinkle with the oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

Steps:

• For the salad: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, toss the beets with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the lined baking sheet. Bake until the beets are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
• For the salsa verde: In a food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, mint, scallions, lemon zest and juice and a small pinch of red pepper flakes if using. Pulse until just combined.
• Combine the oil and garlic in a medium skillet and slowly heat on low until the garlic just begins to sizzle. Turn off the heat. Stir in the pistachios and herb mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• In a large salad bowl, toss the beet greens with the baby kale. Top with roasted beets, crumbled goat cheese and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with the salsa verde.
• Any extra salsa verde can be stored in the refrigerator and served over fish, chicken or roasted vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a sheet pan on the lower oven rack.
• Place beets on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Fold edges of the foil around the beets to make a sealed pouch.
• Place pouch on the center rack of the oven, so the sheet pan below can catch any drippings. Roast until beets are tender when pierced with a knife, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove beets from the oven. Open the pouch and allow to cool.
• Rub a paper towel on the cooled beets to remove skin. Cut into small pieces. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Chop grapefruit segments. Transfer fruit and any accumulated juices into a small bowl.
• Combine mustard greens, beet greens, romaine lettuce, chopped grapefruit and juice, red onion, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice in a large bowl; mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide greens among 6 salad bowls. Top with roasted beets and garnish with goat cheese and dill.

Steps:

• Place beets into a saucepan, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until tender. Drain and cool, then cut in to cubes.
• While the beets are cooking, place the walnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat. Heat until warm and starting to toast, then stir in the maple syrup. Cook and stir until evenly coated, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice concentrate, balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make the dressing.
• Place a large helping of baby greens onto each of four salad plates, divide candied walnuts equally and sprinkle over the greens. Place equal amounts of beets over the greens, and top with dabs of goat cheese. Drizzle each plate with some of the dressing.

Steps:

• In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, vinegar, garlic, basil and pepper flakes; shake well. In a salad bowl, combine the greens, tomatoes and cucumber. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; toss to coat.
