My mother (sure Mama Rose Desk, sure her identify is Buzz) made us essentially the most spectacular beet salad for Oscar Sunday and I simply needed to share the recipe with you! In true Rose Desk style, she had an concept of what she wished to eat however couldn’t discover a related recipe on-line so she made it up and it was superb. She tossed roasted beets with spinach, orange segments, creamy goat cheese, crunchy Marcona almonds, and orange dressing for the prettiest, tastiest spring salad.
If a prettier salad exists, I certain haven’t seen it. I virtually named this superb Beet Salad the Princess Salad as a result of, properly, it’s pink! It’s inconceivable to not be in a very good temper whereas consuming this dish.
You can simply roast the beets a day prematurely if you happen to wished to make this for firm. Recently we’ve been roasting beets in foil packets with nice success. Simply set beets on a big piece of foil, set one other piece of foil on prime, and crimp the sides to kind a comfortable packet. Set that on a baking tray and about an hour later, you’ve gotten completely cooked beets.
You need actually creamy goat cheese for this. It actually simply turns into one with the salad. I hope you like this recipe as a lot as we did!
