- The tasty, healthy beet finally gets a salad dressing it deserves, thanks to Fisher® Pecan Halves. Don’t let the sound of making your own dressing scare you- it’s easier and tastier than you think!
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound medium beets
- 1/2 cup Fisher® Chef's Naturals Pecan Halves, toasted, divided
- 1/3 cup balsamic dressing
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 package (5 oz.) mixed salad greens, about 10 cups
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- For food safety, gently rub produce under cold running water.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Wash beets, remove root and stem ends and wrap in aluminum foil, place in oven and roast for 40 minutes or until a thin paring knife can be easily inserted into beet. Let cool completely, when cool, cut into thin wedges
- Place ¼ cup pecans in a small food processor or blender. Add dressing and puree until the nuts are fully incorporated into the dressing. Beat in 2 to 3 tbsp. water until dressing achieves desired consistency; set aside.
- Place greens in a large serving bowl, toss with beets, goat cheese and dressing. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup pecan halves before serving.
- Note: To save time, purchase beets from your grocer's salad bar. Note: To toast pecans, place in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until aromatic, 3 to 5 minutes.
