Chévre Chaud & Mixed Beet Salad (Vegetarian, Gluten & Grain Free) From Front

Nothing beats a good salad if you ask me!I love making quite simple salads, just using a few but really good ingredients. You really don’t have to make it more complicated than that! Less is more is always my philosophy. This salad is no exception! I is made with just a few key ingredients, is really easy to make but still tastes amazing! I guess chèvre, beets and walnuts are a well know combination. So I took these three ingredients and made this simple and delicious chèvre chaud salad. To make it a bit more interesting I’ve added some sweet juicy cherry tomatoes and a little red onion for its gently sweet taste and crunchy texture then topped it with both honey and balsamic vinegar for the creamy and sweet flavors that makes such a wonderful contrast to the intense and tart chèvre cheese. To spice things up and also add a little more color I added pistachio nuts. This salad is great to serve both as a starter, main course or side dish to your main dish. It is both vegetarian, gluten and grain free.

A few tips:

  • If you want a shorter cooking time for the beets cut them into wedges before cooking.
  • I used a mix of red and yellow beets for this dish. But you can choose any beets you like or have at home.
  • I love to dry roast my nuts to make them a little warm and to add that lovely roasted feeling. But you can use plain nuts as well.
  • I topped my chèvre with both honey and balsamic vinegar just because they both pair so well with chèvre. But you can use just one of them as well.
  • Make sure the oven is really hot before you bake the chèvre. It should only bake for a few minutes so that it gets warm and creamy, but not turn out runny and over melted. You can also turn on the broiler if you prefer your chèvre a bit more browned.
