Roasted Golden Beet & Goat Cheese Napoleons with Citrus Vinaigrette
Golden beets, roasted until tender, then sliced and layered with fresh goat cheese & chive filling — this stunning salad looks so elegant, guests will think you spent hours in the kitchen! But the beets, filling, candied nuts, and vinaigrette can all be made ahead of time, making it an ideal first course for a dinner party. It also makes a great lunch dish, served with crusty bread. You can use any color combination of beets: all gold, all red, or alternating colors!) as well as different nuts, such as candied walnuts or plain, toasted hazelnuts.
Beet and Hazelnut Salad
Hazelnuts, also called filberts, have a rich nuttiness that compliments beets’ sweet earthiness. But great taste is only one of hazelnuts’ virtues: they are high antioxidants including vitamin E and vitamin A, a natural antioxidant with cancer-preventing properties. They also provide B-group vitamins, particularly vitamin B5 and B6. And hazelnuts are an excellent source of minerals, particularly manganese, selenium and zinc. What’s not to love?
