This is a delicious and easy salad which takes little time and is a great meatless main course. It uses beets, goat cheese, candied walnuts and caramelized pears.
Ingredients:
- 2 beets (one red and one golden)
- 1 pear (peeled, cored, and quartered)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 2 tablespoons goat cheese
- walnuts (as much as you want)
- olive oil
- balsamic vinegar
Tarif: Recipe:
- Place beets into a saucepan, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until tender. Drain and cool, then peel and cut in to cubes.
- While cooking the beets, in a skillet, heat the butter until it is bubbling. Add the pear slices to the skillet and continue to cook over medium high heat for approximately 5 minutes or until tender crisp and beginning to brown. Turn several times to brown evenly. Add the sugar and continue to cook until sugar has melted and started to caramelize. Pear slices should be tender.
- Take the caramelized pears to a plate and place the walnuts in the same skillet and toast them over medium-low heat.
- Toss the beets with as much olive oil and vinegar desired. Place the beets to a salad bowl and top with goat cheese crumbs, caramelized pears and walnuts.
