Arugula & Pickled Beet Salad

Rated 0 out of 5
Be the first to Write a Review

Pickled beets give this salad some extra zing and make for a gorgeous presentation. Minced preserved lemon, deliciously salty and citrusy at the same time, is a great addition to salad dressings. Crumbled fresh goat cheese or feta can be substituted for the ricotta salata.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 4 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

For the croutons (optional):

  • 6 slices day-old baguette, each 1 inch thick
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp. minced fresh thyme
  •  
  • 2 Tbs. white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 preserved lemon, peel only, minced
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 4 cups arugula (rocket)
  • 1 cup pickled beets, slices halved
  • 1/4 lb. ricotta salata cheese

Directions

To make the croutons, cut the bread slices into 1-inch cubes. In a fry pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the bread cubes, reduce the heat to low and cook, turning once, until golden and crusty, about 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with the salt and thyme, toss briefly and transfer to paper towels to drain.

In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, pepper and lemon. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until smooth. Add the arugula and beets and toss to coat well.

Divide the salad among individual plates. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the ricotta salata over the salads. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
