Equipment

  • 2 Large Bowls
  • Sink for Cleaning
  • Pan for cooking/searing
  • Cutting Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Lemon Squeezer
  • Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Large Red Beets- Peeled if preferred
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/2 Lemon Squeezed If you do not have a fresh lemon you can always substitute this ingredient for pure lemon juice. However, dilute it with water.
  • 2 tsp of Sea Salt
  • 3 Cups of Washed Arugula
  • 8 oz of Goat Cheese crumble
  • 1/4 Cup of Almonds/Assorted Nuts
  • Optional: Dried Fruits

Instructions
 

  • During the first step in this delicious recipe, you will need to properly prepare the ingredients. This includes cleaning and drying the greens, while also peeling the beet. If it is easier, you can also chop the nuts and the goat cheese. Set both aside for later.
  • The biggest part about this dish is the roasted beets. In order to cook the beets properly, you will need to add olive oil to a pan. Sear the beets lightly with a splash of your desired seasoning. I personally only add sea salt as beets already have their own unique flavor and color adding a pop to your dish!
  • You can't have a proper salad without the greens. While arugula is the most commonly used green, you can also add other types of lettuce. Clean the greens, dry them, and cut them if you need to.
  • To add another extra layer of flavor and acidic tones, I also recommend making your own vinaigrette or dressing. You can do this by mixing vinegar, sea salt, olive oil, and the lemon juice or freshly squeezed lemons. Mix until the vinagrette is fragrant.
  • The last step is optional, but I think it is what ties this dish together so well! Add the toppings as desired, including the chopped nuts and the sprinkles of goat cheese crumble.

Notes

  • Bobby Flay is a genius chef that has amazing ideas. One of these amazing ideas is obviously our roasted beet salad recipe by Bobby Flay. The flavors are exquisite, and there is a unique texture added by using creamy goat cheese and crunchy nuts.
  • There are not a lot of tips or tricks that I can give you to master this delicious salad. Since it is common and perfect for beginners, you should have no trouble recreating the dish! If you do, try and boil the red beets first, instead of immediately roasting them in oil and seasonings. Boiling beets softens the skin and the root.
  • I also recommend adding sweeter ingredients like dried fruits. Personally, adding dried cranberries to the salad gives a unique flavor that suits the goat cheese and the slight bitterness of the roasted beets. You never know until you try it!
