Beet Salad With Watercress And Fresh Pecorino
- 2 pounds small beets, (preferably Chioggia), 1/4 pound peeled and very thinly sliced on a mandoline
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for rubbing
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
- 3 bunches (6 ounces each) watercress, thick stems discarded
- 6 ounces young Pecorino cheese, such as Toscana or Sardo, shaved
- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0. In a small baking dish, rub the whole beets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and roast the beets for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until they are tender when pierced with a knife. Let cool, then peel the beets and cut them into wedges.
- In a large bowl, whisk the 3/4 cup of olive oil with the orange juice and balsamic vinegar; season the dressing with salt and pepper. Add the roasted beet wedges, shaved beets, watercress and shaved Pecorino and toss well to coat. Transfer to a large platter and serve right away.
