Has anyone got any really yummy salad recipes.
I made this tonight and it was really really good - even though I normally can't stand beetroot!
Harvest Salad of Roasted Beets, Walnuts&Onions with Goats Cheese Croutons
4 large beetroot, peeled and cut into batons 2cmx5cm
3 large red onions, peeled and cut into thin wedges, 8-10 per onion
3 large pears, peeled, cored and each cut into 8 wedges
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
salt and freshly ground pepper
1-1 1/2 cups walnut halves
4-6 handfuls fresh salad greens, washed and dried
1 quantity pesto dressing*
Goats Cheese Croutons
10-12 slices rustic bread or French bread
150g goats cheese
* Pesto Dressing
Combine 1 tbsp pesto with 2 tbsp lemon juice and 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 220 c. Place beetroot in a shallow roasting dish. Place onions and pears in a separate dish. Divide oil, sugar and vinegar evenly between the dishes and mix through. Spread items evenly in a single layer in each dish and bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring a couple of times until tender and all liquid has evaporated. Bake walnuts in another dish for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool seperately. To assemble salad, toss pesto dressing through salad greens. Add beets, onions, pears and walnuts. Garnish with croutons spread with goats cheese. Serve at once.
I made it with just some feta cheese sprinkled through instead of the croutons which was still really good.
