Roasted Beet Salad with Oranges and Creamy Goat Cheese Dressing
- 1 pound small golden and red beets, scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 2 medium oranges
- 8 ounces baby arugula
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Trim the beets and place on a sheet of aluminum foil.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the beets in the foil and bake until tender, about 45 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, peel the beets, slice in half lengthwise, and then slice into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons.
- For the dressing, heat 3/4 cup of the orange juice and the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Simmer until the mixture is reduced to about 3 tablespoons, about 30 minutes.
- Cool completely.
- Whisk the orange juice reduction with the olive oil, the remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice, the goat cheese, champagne vinegar, heavy cream and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cut off both ends of the oranges.
- Carefully cut off the skin and pith, and then slice the oranges in half and then into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Mix together the arugula and onions in a large salad bowl.
- Divide the salad among 4 plates.
- Arrange the oranges and beets over each salad and drizzle with the dressing.
- Cook's Note: If using both golden beets and red beets, wrap them separately so the red beets don't dye the golden beets while they cook.
