Croutons

Roasted Beet & Peach Salad

August 19, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

Roasted Beets give a deep flavor and the fresh, ripe peaches add the perfect sweetness to this salad that is topped with walnuts and goat cheese. A homemade vinaigrette tops this Roasted Beet & Peach Salad and turns this salad into a show stopper.

If you have never tried roasting beets now is your chance. Roasted beets give beets a whole new meaning, one you will love. The only way I recall eating beats was cooked until soft and topped with a sprinkle of salt. They were OK at best. Roast the beets and you will have a whole new appreciation for the vegetable, I guarantee it.

For some reason, peaches and beets are a classic combination for a salad. Add to that mixed greens, onions, croutons, walnuts and goat cheese and you have the perfect Roasted Beet & Peach Salad. The vinaigrette brings adds a bit more sweetness to the salad.

I love fruit on a salad, do you? Right now peaches are in season so it was the perfect time to come up with a salad with fresh peaches. I am on a goat cheese kick right now, I eat it on every salad I make, I just can’t seem to get enough of it! If you have a recipe that utilizes goat cheese, please share!

Enjoy!

Roasted Beet & Peach Salad

Ingredients

  • 3-6 beets, peeled & sliced thin, about 2 cups
  • 1 large peach, pitted and sliced thin
  • Lettuce or Mixed Greens
  • Croutons
  • Green Onions
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped & roasted
  • 1/3 – ½ cup goat cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  • To roast the beets: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Lay the sliced beets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until soft. Remove from the oven and let the beets come to room temperature.
  • To roast the walnuts: Add the walnuts to a baking dish and put them in the oven with the beets. Roast for 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don’t start to burn.
  • While the beets are roasting, mix the dressing. Add the vinegar, oil, mustard, honey, salt & pepper to a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.

Chopped Salad with Strawberries

April 22, 2014 by Kay 8 Comments

Chopped Salad with Strawberries is a hearty salad filled with fresh vegetables, two kinds of lettuce, strawberries, croutons and is topped with a delicious vinaigrette.

I love salads. I especially love to order large salads when I go out to eat, so I decided I need to come up with some restaurant quality salads at home. Chopped Salad with Strawberries was a big success.

I opted for two kinds of lettuce, mixed greens and iceberg lettuce. I love the crispness of the iceberg lettuce with the mixed greens. For vegetables I used a sweet red pepper, a shallot, and a seedless cucumber. I added in fresh strawberries, feta cheese and home made croutons.

For the dressing, I made a home made herb vinaigrette and used a strawberry vinegar. I love vinaigrette’s, they are so easy to whip up and are way better than a store bough salad dressing. Trust me, it’s worth the time to make a home made vinaigrette.

I am looking forward to creating more salads!

Enjoy!
