Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 oz cooked beets (I used Melissa's steamed baby beets or you can roast them - see notes for how to roast beets)
  • 3 oz goat cheese crumbled
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • tsp sea salt I prefer Maldon sea salt
  • 1 tsp wine vinegar red, white, or rosé
  • 1 tsp Watercress or microgreens to garnish

Instructions

  1. Dice the beets into small pieces. Arrange on two salad plates.
  2. Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  4. Add the vinegar as desired.
  5. Toss gently, then plate carefully onto two salad plates, keeping the dressing at the bottom of the bowl (unless you're serving in bowls for a weekday lunch and pretty plating is unnecessary).
  6. If serving for company, or a special occasion, wipe the edges of the plate, then arrange the goat cheese crumbles on the beet cubes.
  7. Lastly, add the micro-greens. Pass the reserved dressing in a little jug after you've served the salad.

Notes

  • Important: measurements are not critical in this recipe. Use as much or as little of each ingredient to your liking, but I wouldn't omit the salt, oil and vinegar.
  • If you like a more colorful or impressive plating you can add dots of dressing (from the bottom of the bowl of beets).
  • I poured some dressing into a little dropper bottle, but you can also use a small spoon. It looks pretty with the added red color especially for a Valentine's Day presentation. I recommend using white plates.
