Preparation
Step 1
For this salad you can also use pine nuts – they will add a pleasant flavor. But even without them the salad turns out delicious and even more delicate. Extra tenderness comes from a soft type of goat cheese. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar give the dish a special pleasant taste and aroma, and they also help soften the specific flavor of beetroot.
Step 2
Wash the beets and cook them in water until fully done. You can also simply bake the beets wrapped in foil in the oven. With the second method the beets keep a maximum of nutrients and become juicier and sweeter.
Step 3
Let the beets cool, peel them, cut into small cubes and place on a plate. On top, add pieces of soft goat cheese and sprinkle with chopped parsley. You can also use lettuce or other fresh greens to your taste.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl pour the balsamic vinegar. Dissolve the salt and sugar in the vinegar, then add the olive oil. Lightly whisk everything with a fork. Drizzle the mixture over the salad on the plate. You can adjust the dressing to your taste. The dressing is especially interesting if you add a few drops of lemon juice to this mixture.
Step 5
You can chill the salad a little in the refrigerator and then serve. But it’s better not to delay serving for too long, because the aroma of the dressing quickly fades and the taste of the salad becomes less bright.
Step 6
You can serve this salad as a separate dish or as an appetizer alongside a hot main course. Beetroot and goat cheese salad will take a worthy place on the festive table despite the simplicity of its ingredients and preparation method.
