- Ready In:
- 11mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 2 large beets, cooked (my friend used some that were vacuum-packed and were cooked and peeled, but still whole. I have used)
- 4 ounces chevre cheese (or more, if you're greedy like me)
-
balsamic vinaigrette
- 10 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- sugar, to taste
directions
- Prepare balsamic vinaigrette by mixing all ingredients in a small bowl (may prepare well in advance, but needs to be room temperature for serving).
- Slice beets very thin (my friend used her mandolin slicer on the thinnest setting) and arrange in a pretty pattern on 4 small plates (white plates bring out the color best).
- Crumble chevre in a ramekin or shallow baking dish and broil in oven until just softened.
- Top beets with softened chevre, evenly divided between the 4 servings.
- Drizzle vinaigrette over beets/chevre (evenly divided between the 4 servings) and serve immediately.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a traveling nurse, so on days that I work I don't really have time to cook, although I try to squeeze it in anyway. I really love to make dinners, desserts, etc, and I'm always trying new things. If it weren't for my picky DH, I would try almost anything! I can't complain, though, because our new routine has him doing a lot of the cooking, and recipezaar is a big help with that! I have a sweet cat named Shadow and a rambunctious Golden Retriever named Cassidy, both of whom will eat almost anything I cook... haha.
I usually only cook meals that I know my husband and I will like, so it's rare that I rate a recipe less than 4 stars after trying it. So if you wonder why I seem to only give great reviews, it's truly not because I'm just too nice to say what I really think! If I make your recipe, I have a pretty good idea that we'll love it. :) If we don't, I'll say so.
