Dish Up a Tangy-Sweet Salad
(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwire) -- 12/13/12 -- (Family Features) Perfect for any season, Baby Beets and Greens Salad showcases earthy beets, tangy goat cheese and toasted nuts in bright, citrus-beet vinaigrette. Don't be intimidated -- it takes just a few minutes to prep and serve this show-stopper.
Beets are the star of the salad and the dressing. Using high-quality Aunt Nellie's Baby Whole Pickled Beets saves time -- they're picked, pickled and packed at their perfect ripeness, so they retain their farm fresh flavor and high antioxidant profile. Simply add drained, bite-sized baby beets to salad greens and reserve the beet liquid for the salad dressing.
The combination of the tangy-sweet beets balanced by leafy greens serves as a base for mixing and matching various nuts and fruits. If almonds aren't a favorite, get creative and coat the goat cheese rounds in chopped, toasted pecans or pistachios instead. For a little extra sweetness, dried apricots or other favorite dried fruits make fun salad toppers.
This flavorful dish is fancy enough for company, but can easily be enjoyed on a weeknight with grilled chicken or steak.
