Harvest Salad
Serves: 8 (3/4 cups)
 
Ingredients
  • 3 small golden beets with greens
  • ¼ cup olive oil, divided
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 loose cups (approximately 6 ounces) broccoli florets, quartered
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 medium green apple, cored and chopped
  • ½ cup chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
  1. Using a sharp knife, cut greens from beets. Wash and dry leaves thoroughly. Chop leaves. Using a Y-shaped vegetable peeler, peel beets. Using a sharp knife, dice beets into approximately ¼-inch cubes.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add beets, and sauté until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork, 6 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Add onion; cook until softened, approximately 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add broccoli and garlic; cook until broccoli is bright and tender, approximately 2 minutes. Fold in chopped beet greens and remove from heat.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, honey, lemon juice, and salt. Very gradually add remaining 3 tablespoons oil, whisking constantly until fully emulsified.
  4. In a large bowl, stir together broccoli mixture, apple, and pecans. Add vinaigrette, and toss gently until salad is evenly coated. Serve immediately.
