Hearty Winter Salad With Sherry Vinaigrette Recipes

WINTER LETTUCE SALAD WITH ROASTED BEETS AND SHALLOT SHERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Fit the beets snugly into a pie plate or casserole pan and pour in enough water to cover the beets by one-third. Scatter some salt over the top and cover tightly with tin foil. Bake until soft but not falling apart, 30 to 40 minutes, depending on size and density. Check them with a fork for doneness.
• Combine the lettuces in a salad bowl. The mix of the bitter radicchio and the heartier escarole is not only physically gorgeous, but it tastes great too!
• Cut the ends off both oranges, and then cut the peel off in a downward motion all the way around. Save the peels, as you will use the juice in them for the dressing. Thinly slice the oranges and toss into the lettuces.
• Let the beets cool before peeling. I like to cut them into quarters, and then slices from there because I like the look, but any reasonable bite-size slice works. Toss them into the salad.
• For the shallot sherry dressing: Put the shallots into a container with a tight-fitting lid so you can really shake it for all its worth-hand emulsifying, if you will.
• Add the sugar and a good pinch salt, followed by the olive oil, vinegar and any juice that you can squeeze out of the orange peels left over. Cover the container and really shake it so it becomes completely combined and cloudy. Taste for balance; you want it to be balanced between sweet and tart, so if it needs more salt or sugar, feel free to add it.
• Dress the salad, toss with (clean!!) hands, grind a couple of grinds of pepper over it and serve.

HEARTY WINTER VEGETABLE SALAD WITH BLACK ONION SEED VINAIGRETTE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
• Cut up the vegetables and on a baking sheet, toss together the carrots, turnips, parsnips, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Roast the vegetables until crispy and tender, 30-35 minutes.
• Make the vinaigrette: In a small pan over medium-high heat, combine the Schwartz Black Onion Seeds and Schwartz Mustard Seeds and toast, stirring continuously, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• In a blender, combine the toasted spices, salt, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Blend on high speed until the spices are fully ground and the mixture is smooth. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large bowl and pour in ⅓ cup (80 ml) of the dressing. Toss to coat.
• In a separate large bowl, combine the arugula, bacon, and goat cheese. Drizzle with more dressing to taste, reserving the remaining dressing for another use, and toss to combine. Add the roasted vegetables and toss again.
• Divide between plates and serve.
• Enjoy!
