Instructions
For beets:
- Cut off beet tops and slice beets into four equal pieces.
- Add to a small pot and cover with water. Boil for about 30 minutes until soft. You do not want them falling apart, just fork tender.
- Rinse and immediately cool down by running cold water over the beets.
- Using your hands simply rub the peel of the beet off. It should come off very easily at this point.
- Chop beets into bite-size pieces or slices.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, olive oil, and dry mustard powder.
- Add cut beets, toss, and let sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
For fried goat cheese:
- Freeze your goat cheese for 30 minutes until it’s solid but not fully frozen.
- While your cheese is hardening mix together panko bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, set aside.
- Set up a breading line in the following order: flour, egg, panko bread crumbs, parchment covered large cutting board.
- Remove cheese from freezer and slice into 1/2 inch rounds by using plain dental floss or a knife. If using a knife make sure to wipe it off after each cut to stop it from crumbling.
- If any of your pieces fall apart just pat it together and try to keep a somewhat round shape. It does not have to be perfect.
- Take goat cheese rounds and dip in flour, then egg and then coat in panko/herb mixture. Lay onto lined cutting board. Continue until all slices have been coated.
- If your cheese is really soft pop it into the freezer for 5 minutes to harden.
- Take a large high-sided skillet, cover the bottom with olive oil, and add to range over medium-high heat.
- Once oil is hot, fry goat cheese rounds until crispy on both sides.
- Gently remove fried goat cheese from the skillet onto a paper towel lined plate to help soak up any remaining olive oil. Serve fried goat cheese warm.
For salad:
- Lay out two large salad bowls and add 4 cups of lettuce to each bowl.
- Top with equal amounts pickled beets and walnuts.
- Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette.
- Top each salad with an equal amount of goat cheese rounds. You should get enough for at least 2 – 3 rounds per salad.
For dressing:
- Add all ingreidents except olive oil to a small mixing bowl.
- Whisk until combined, and while whisking slowly drizzle in your olive oil until combined.
