Marinated Beet Salad

Change up this recipe by using half olive oil and half walnut oil, and top the beets with tossed walnuts. You can also use a mixture of beets such as Chioggia, golden, and red.

  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Total Time 55 minutes, plus marinating
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 5 medium beets (about 1 pound without greens), ends trimmed, halved
    • 1 clove garlic, smashed
    • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 1/4 cup fresh mint, coarsely chopped
    • 1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. Set a steamer basket in a large saucepan with a lid. Fill with enough water to come just below basket; bring to a boil. Place beets in steamer basket, cover pot, and reduce water to a gentle simmer. Steam until beets are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, grab beets with a paper towel and slip off skins. Cut the beets into thin slices.
  2. In a medium bowl combine sliced beets, garlic, vinegar, and oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Remove and discard garlic. Serve beets topped with mint and goat cheese.
