Absolutely delicious! For anyone who has a Trader Joe's nearby they offer fully cooked peeled fresh beets in the produce department which streamlined the process incredibly! Loved the combo of flavors and textures! A definite keeper; thanks Megancake!
This is the salad I pull out when I really want to impress. It's rich impressive and delicious. I put together everything but the beet slices and the dressing then add those immediately before serving and toss again. Adding the warm beets melts the cheese and just slightly wilts the salad which is great!
this was really great, and versatile, I added avacado, and tomatoes, and red onions.
Very nice! I substituted the goat cheese for light feta (lower in fat), and used olive oil instead. I also substituted the pistachios for roasted almonds. The combination of the flavours = YUM
I omitted the greens as I knew there were green salads being bought to the party that would be eaten along side the salad. I toasted pine nuts instead of using pistachios and used olive oil balsamic and a little sweet rice wine vinegar for the dressing. The peach roasted beet goat cheese combo is sublime. Next time I might try caramelized walnuts with maple syrup as suggested in the "beet salad with goat cheese" recipe submitted on this site.
Very delicious I just used what I had on hand: 3 small beets 1 large and perfectly ripe peach walnuts and green onions. For the dressing I used 2 T. oil and 1.5 T. balsamic vinegar plus salt and pepper. It was very delicious the sweet beet and sweeter peach with the sour snap of balsmaic vinegaraette ad punch of onion is perfect. With goat cheese it would have been better (I woudl have lightened up on the vinegar in that case) unfortunately I didn't have any on hand. I piled the salad on some fresh greens and loved every bite. Thanks for the great recipe.
WOW - impressive looking and tasty. I used roasted pine nuts instead. Next time I will also add rasberries.
Although I think it has potential and it was good the goat cheese fruit and beets are too heavy for the lettuce's used and it becomes mashed/compressed just from the weight. Maybe if it was served on a platter with guests being able to add what they wanted vs. having it pre-mixed that would work. But pre-mixed I found it settled too much for the types of lettuces used.
Beautiful and delicious! I used a spring mix/herb salad blend safflower oil for the walnut oil and added just a squeeze of lemon to the dressing (only because I had half a lemon left from another recipe I was serving). I actually roasted the beets the previous day intending on making this salad then but our plans fell through and the beets were stashed in the refrigerator overnight. I used a goat cheese that was pretty creamy and the flavor and texture of that with this salad was just incredible. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe!
