Beet and Goat Cheese Salad

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cooked beets ((I used Melissa's steamed baby beets or you can roast them - see notes for how to roast beets))
  • 3 oz goat cheese (crumbled )
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt (I prefer Maldon sea salt)
  • 1 tsp wine vinegar (red, white, or rosé)
  • 1 tsp watercress (or microgreens to garnish)

Steps

  1. 1

    Dice the beets into small pieces. Arrange on two salad plates.

  2. 2

    Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle with sea salt.

  4. 4

    Add the vinegar as desired.

  5. 5

    Toss gently, then plate carefully onto two salad plates, keeping the dressing at the bottom of the bowl (unless you're serving in bowls for a weekday lunch and pretty plating is unnecessary).

  6. 6

    If serving for company, or a special occasion, wipe the edges of the plate, then arrange the goat cheese crumbles on the beet cubes.

  7. 7

    Lastly, add the micro-greens. Pass the reserved dressing in a little jug after you've served the salad.
