Recipe by Deborah Madison
Simple, bright, and balanced, this salad pairs perfectly with grilled fish or chicken. To cook the beets in the oven, wrap in foil and bake at 400 ° for 45 to 50 minutes.
Ingredients
- 3 medium golden beets, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cups arugula
- 1 ripe peeled avocado, sliced
- 1 ounce reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Wrap beets individually in microwave-safe parchment paper. Microwave at HIGH 7 minutes or until tender, turning once after 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
- Combine rind, juice, black pepper, salt, and shallot in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Let stand 10 minutes. Gradually add oil, stirring constantly with a whisk. Place arugula in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons juice mixture to arugula; toss to coat. Add beets to remaining juice mixture; toss to coat. Place arugula mixture on a platter; top with beet mixture, avocado, and feta.
