Ingredients
- 1 beet (beetroot) large, either pre-cooked or roasted, see below
- 1 blood orange
- 2 handfuls arugula rocket or use mixed greens
- 2 tablespoon dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoon pistachios
- 1 oz soft goats cheese approx
- 3 tablespoon pomegranate molasses pomegranate concentrate, or a little less, to taste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 ½ tablespoon virgin olive oil
Instructions
- If you can roast the beet, I'd recommend you do - peel, dice in approx ¾in/2cm pieces and roast the pieces tossed in a little olive oil until tender, around 45-60mins, at 400F/200C (a little lower is fine). Allow to cool. I would do this if I was already using the oven for other things, and fine to do a day or two ahead, but it's probably not worth the effort otherwise.
- If using pre-cooked beets, peel and dice the beetroot.
- Peel the orange and cut in to rings then slice larger ones in half.
- Place the arugula on two plates and lay the beetroot and orange on top and scatter over the cranberries and pistachios.
- Whisk together the pomegranate molasses, balsamic vinegar and olive oil and drizzle over the salads - you may not need all of it - and serve.
