Roasted Beet, Peach and Goat Cheese Salad

By: Megancake 
"This salad is a bit of work, but it's so delicious and always impresses guests. Mache can be hard to find, so you may omit it and just use arugula, but it adds a great nutty flavor if you can find it."

Original Recipe Yield 2 salads
 

Ingredients

  • 2 beets, scrubbed
  • 1 bunch mache (lamb's lettuce), rinsed and dried
  • 1 bunch arugula, rinsed and dried
  • 2 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pistachio nuts, chopped
  • 1 (4 ounce) package goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup walnut oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Wrap each beet in two layers of aluminum foil, and place onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the beets are tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Allow the beets to cool slightly, then remove the skins. Let the beets cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until cold. Once cooled, thinly slice the beets.
  2. Place the mache and arugula into a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced beets and peaches; sprinkle with the shallots, pistachios, and goat cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together the walnut oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until emulsified, and pour over the salad mixture. Toss well, and serve.

We really enjoyed this salad. I didn't have peaches so I used fresh mango instead. Delicious.
