This is a nice fall salad, simple and light. It makes a good starter for a special meal. I have made it a few times for Thanksgiving. Ingredients:
2 medium beets |
1 tablespoon walnut oil |
2 tablespoons apple cider or 2 tablespoons apple juice |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar |
1 pinch salt |
1 pinch pepper |
1/8 teaspoon ground aniseed |
2 medium tart apples |
1/2 cup walnut pieces |
1 head boston lettuce or 1 head bibb lettuce |
Directions:
1. Wash but do not trim the beets.
2. Boil them until tender and remove them to cold water.
3. (Or roast them, if you prefer.) When they are cool, peel them and cut them into 1 cm cubes or small slices.
4. Mix the apple cider or juice, the walnut oil, the lemon juice, the vinegar and the spices in a small jar and shake well.
5. Core and chop the apples.
6. Wash, dry, and tear up the lettuce.
7. Arrange it on plates with the apples, beets and nuts over it.
8. Drizzle the dressing over the salads.
