How to Make Baby Beet Salad With Rocket And Goats Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread pine nuts on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside.
  2. Wash and scrub the baby beetroot thoroughly.
  3. Place beetroot in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 40 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from heat and let cool completely in the pan.
  5. Once cool enough to handle, gently rub the beetroot under running water to remove the skins.
  6. Halve or quarter the beetroot, depending on their size.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the cooked beetroot, rocket, red onion, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted pine nuts.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and sugar.
  9. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
