Recipe Summary Roasted Beet, Goat Cheese And Fennel Salad

Serve this lemony goat cheese salad as a side dish or as a meal with crunchy walnuts and tender butterhead lettuce. Each tangy-fresh salad offers fewer than 200 calories. Wrapping aluminum foil around each beet for roasting creates a small steam chamber to cook each vegetable. In addition to locking in nutrients and flavor, the aluminum foil-wrapped beets cook without getting dry.

Ingredients | Roasted Beet Goat Cheese Salad Pioneer Woman

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot

1 ½ teaspoons Dijon-style mustard

½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

½ teaspoon honey

⅓ cup olive oil

Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil

2 large (8 ounce) beets

½ teaspoon salt, divided

½ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided

2 medium fennel bulbs, cored and very thinly sliced

8 cups torn butterhead (Boston or bibb) lettuce

¼ cup chopped walnuts, toasted

4 ounces crumbled goat cheese (chevre)

2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives

Aluminum foil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare Lemon Vinaigrette; cover and set aside.

Lemon Vinaigrette: In a medium bowl whisk together lemon juice, shallot, mustard, lemon zest, and honey. In a steady stream, slowly whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil. Makes 2/3 cup.

Scrub beets. Wrap each beet in Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake 1-1/2 hours or until a knife can be easily inserted into beets. Cool 20 minutes or until able to handle. Remove and discard foil. Trim off stem and root ends of roasted beets. Peel and cut into 1-inch pieces.

In a medium bowl combine beets, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.

In another medium bowl combine fennel, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.

Line 8 salad plates with lettuce. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Layer with beets, walnuts, fennel, goat cheese, and chives.
