Roasted Beet And Kale Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Scrub beets well and cut off ends. Drizzle each beet with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap each individually in foil. Bake at 400 deg for 50 min. Cool until able to handle. Peel outer skin and slice. Meanwhile, cook bacon till crisp. Drain grease. Heat olive oil in pan. Cook garlic and shallots till softened. Add kale, adding more olive oil if needed. Cook until slightly wilted. Combine in large bowl the kale mixture, beets, pecans, crumbled bacon, apple, lemon zest and juice and crumbled goat cheese. Finish with additional olive oil if needed, drizzle of balsamic vinegar if desired and coarse finishing salt. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Wash and trim the beets, removing both ends. Place them on a 12-inch square sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Drizzle with the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Seal up the foil packet and roast until the beets are fork-tender, about 1 hour.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until medium-crisp (or however you prefer your bacon). Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Increase the heat to high and add the kale, stirring to coat in the rendered bacon grease. Cover and cook for a few minutes, and then add the chicken stock and 2 tablespoons of the vinegar. Stir to combine, cover and allow to wilt for 6 to 8 minutes.
• Peel and cut the beets into chunks and add them to the kale. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar. Add the bacon, stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
