Beet and Citrus Salad

January 23, 2015 by Samantha Leave a Comment

My Kitchen Love Blog - Citrus-Beet Stack

I’m taking a “cookbook workshop” on The Forest Feast Cookbook. This cookbook is chalk full of simple vegetarian recipes. All are filled with vibrant flavours. As you probably know from my winter fruit salad, I’m a big fan of citrus fruits. Paired with thick cut earthy beets and dressed with a bright citrus vinaigrette … salad perfection.

My Kitchen Love Blog - Citrus-Beet Stack

As you can see from the image above, I’ve used different varieties of oranges. Feel free to mix things up and use your favourite citrus fruits.

Recipe from: The Forest Feast Cookbook

Serves 4

Ingredients:

Salad:

2 large beets, peeled and sliced into 1/4″ circles
2 oranges
2 grapefruits
1 green onion, thinly sliced

Dressing:

3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tsbp orange zest
3 tsbp orange juice
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 shallot, finely minced

Directions:

Salad:

Place beet rounds in a pot and cover by 2″ with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes or until fork tender. Drain and set aside.

Remove peel and white pith from oranges and grapefruits using a sharp knife. Cut into 1/4″ circles.

To serve, stack the beets and citrus rounds, alternating, with the biggest on the bottom. Top with dressing and green onion slices.

Dressing:

Place in a jar and shake until well blended. Will keep for up to 1 week in fridge and makes enough for 4 full salads, meaning you’ll have leftovers for the rest of the week (hooray!).

Enjoy!

Mini #2: Beets and Yogurt with Mint

May 26, 2014 by Samantha Leave a Comment

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

 

This recipe feels a bit like cheating. It’s VERY easy and almost completely hands off. You bake a couple of gorgeous beets, peel, blend with some mint, mix with yogurt … et voila! A protein and iron filled vegetarian meal for your little.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

As beets are a root vegetable, they are naturally high in nitrates, which can hurt your little’s tummy if they have any sensitivities or not exposed to root vegetables. Since everyone gives their baby sweet potatoes this generally isn’t much of a concern.That being said though, I’d recommend this recipe for 9-12 + month babies depending upon their exposure to solids and root vegetables.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

If you have any leftovers, the beets and mint blend freezes very easily (serve yogurt fresh). In addition, to being a great puree, add some pita bread to dip into this and you have an alternate snack!

Makes 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:

3 medium sized red beets, trimmed
5 fresh mint leaves
Yogurt (I use thick 11% greek yogurt)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Wash beets leaving skin on. Place in two layers of foil on a baking tray. Fold up foil layers tightly. Bake for 1 hour.

Remove from oven and let cool. Gently peel skin from beets (the skin should almost completely fall off with some gentle peeling). Cut beets into quarters.

Place quartered beets and mint leaves in blender. Blend (adding a tablespoon of water at a time as needed) until well pureed.

Place desired amount in a bowl. Place an equal amount of yogurt in bowl. Mix and serve.
