Roasted Beet and Endive Salad with Goat Cheese and Glazed Macadamia Nuts
-
Roasted Beet and Endive Salad with Goat Cheese and Glazed Macadamia Nuts
- Start by roasting the beets: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in foil and roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Let them cool, peel, and slice into rounds.
- Arrange the endive leaves on a serving platter.
- Place the roasted beet slices on top of the endive leaves.
- Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over the beets and endive.
- Scatter fresh basil leaves over the salad.
- Sprinkle the glazed macadamia nuts over the salad.
- Garnish with chopped chives and orange zest.
-
Glazed Macadamia Nuts
- In a small skillet, toast the macadamia nuts over medium heat until lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add honey and a pinch of salt to the skillet, stirring constantly until the nuts are evenly coated and the honey has caramelized, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the glazed macadamia nuts to a parchment paper-lined tray to cool. Once cooled, roughly chop them.
-
Macadamia Nut Oil Vinaigrette with Orange and Tarragon
- In a small bowl, whisk together macadamia nut oil, rice wine vinegar, orange juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and chopped tarragon.
- Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the sweetness or acidity according to your preference.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.
- Toss gently to coat the salad with the flavorful vinaigrette.
