Golden Beet Salad

This vibrant golden beet salad is a refreshing alternative to traditional red beetroot dishes, offering a milder, sweeter flavour that pairs beautifully with tangy accents. The golden beetroot is roasted until tender, retaining its beautiful sunny hue, before being tossed with fresh spinach and a zesty mustard dressing. It is a sophisticated vegetarian option that works equally well as a light lunch or an elegant starter for a dinner party.

Packed with earthy nutrients and contrasting textures, this colourful salad features the crunch of toasted walnuts and the creamy richness of crumbled blue cheese. Because the beets can be roasted up to three days in advance, it is an excellent choice for stress-free entertaining. Serve it alongside crusty sourdough bread for a delicious and healthy seasonal meal.

Ingredients for Golden Beet Salad

  • 575g golden beets, trimmed and rinsed

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoons whole-grain or Dijon mustard

  • 30g spinach leaves or baby spinach, sliced (about 150g )

  • 3 tablespoons toasted walnuts

  • 30g blue cheese, crumbled (30g )

Preheat the oven to 204°C.

Place the beets in a roasting pan and add water to a depth of 1/2 inch. Cover the pan with foil and bake until the beets are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 1/2 hours. Set the beets aside until they are cool enough to handle. Peel and rinse off any pieces of skin. Slice the beets into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, and then cut them into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. Let the beets cool to room temperature.

Toss the beets with the rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add the olive oil and mustard and toss with the spinach. Garnish with the toasted walnuts and crumbled blue cheese.

Make Ahead: You can roast the beets up to 3 days in advance; toss them just before serving.
