How to cook deliciously - Beet Salad with Pecans and Blue Cheese
1. Stage
Place beets into a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover beets by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until skins begin to loosen, about 20 minutes.
2. Stage
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
3. Stage
Drain beets, remove skins, and cut into halves or quarters, depending on size. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
4. Stage
Roast in the preheated oven until beets are dark in color and almost fork-tender, but not too soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool beets, dice into 1/2-inch cubes, and place in a bowl.
5. Stage
Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey in a lidded jar for honey-mustard vinaigrette. Close jar and shake to combine. Pour vinaigrette over beets and chill in the refrigerator until flavors have melded, 1 to 2 hours.
6. Stage
Meanwhile, heat butter in a skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, 15 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and chop.
7. Stage
Arrange 1/4 of the marinated beets in a solid circle on 4 salad dishes. Top with layers of onions and micro greens and sprinkle with blue cheese and pecans. Drizzle remaining beet vinaigrette around each salad, if desired. Serve chilled.
