Ingredients
- 3 red beets medium, greens and roots chopped off
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- 2 teaspoons salt divided; I use Maldon's flaky salt; can use regular salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
- ½ grapefruit medium; substitute with oranges or tangerines as needed!
- ¼ cup pistachios toasted - salted or unsalted; substitute with other nuts as needed - check post!
- 1 cup arugula substitute with other salad greens as needed - check post!
- ¼ cup goat cheese substitute with other cheese as needed - check post!
Instructions
Preparing Beets
- Preheat the oven to 425°F
- Wash the beets thoroughly, chopping off the greens and the roots.
- Toss the beets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper and coat well
- Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 30 minutes. When ready, you should be able to insert a fork into the beets and remove it cleanly. If you're unable to do that, roast for a few more mins depending on the heat of your oven. Set aside to cool.
- Once cool, remove beets from foil, and place in a bowl of cold water (or under running cold water) and peel the beets
- Once peeled, chop the beets into nice rounds and place in the fridge to chill while you prepare the other ingredients
Assemble Salad
- Squeeze the grapefruit into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of fresh grapefruit juice to 3 tablespoons of olive oil and whisk until it's combined well - this is your vinaigrette!
- Remove beet from the fridge and arrange all ingredients on a serving platter
- Drizzle the vinaigrette and add some more salt and pepper to the salad - serve chilled!
Notes
- This salad is super versatile and many variations are possible (for every component!) Please check the post for those variations and options
- I've used a light citrus vinaigrette - you can also use some storebought balsamic, or just drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper
- You can add slices of grapefruits or even other other fruits like peaches to this salad and serve this with almost any main course!
