This salad is equally good warm or cold. To save time, create the platter the night before, refrigerate and dress right before serving. Ingredients:
8 beets, medium-sized |
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (i prefer aged balsamic vinegar of modena) |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled |
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, only |
Directions:
1. In a large pot, cover the beets with salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until beets are just tender, about 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, lightly toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Set aside to cool.
3. Drain the beets and run under cold water until cool enough to handle, but still warm. Gently rub the skins off.
4. Slice the beets into 1/8-inch rounds and arrange on a platter. Drizzle with the vinegar, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the walnuts , cheese and thyme, and serve!
