Golden and red beets are combined with watercress, creamy goat cheese and crunchy walnuts to create a colorful winter salad. Before you roast the beets, cut off the greens and reserve them for another use.
Ingredients:
- 3 golden beets, trimmed and washed
- 6 red beets, trimmed and washed
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- 5 Tbs. crème fraîche
- 1 Tbs. chopped fresh dill
- 2 tsp. minced shallots
- 4 cups baby watercress
- 4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/3 cup toasted chopped walnuts
Directions:
Preheat an oven to 350°F.
Place the golden and red beets on a baking sheet. Coat the beets with 3 Tbs. of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and roast until the beets are fork-tender, about 1 hour. When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1-inch wedges.
Meanwhile, in a salad dressing emulsifier, combine the lemon juice, crème fraîche, the remaining 5 Tbs. olive oil, the dill and shallots. Squeeze the lever to emulsify. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
Arrange the beet wedges in a layer on a platter and top with the watercress. Garnish with the goat cheese and walnuts. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and serve immediately. Serves 6.

Delicious!
This was delicious and met with rave reviews. I might pre dress the watercress with the dressing next time, but was an awesome combination of ingredients.

Beautiful Colorful side
Amazingly simple and tasty. Used it as starter salad with beef tenderloin with red wine reduction. Couldn't find baby watercress so used baby arugula. Easily a delicious salad on it's own, not just as a side or starter.
