Roasted Beetroot Salad with Grapefruit and Dill

Salad - Roasted Beetroot Salad with Grapefruit and Dill by Willow D. - Recipia

Roasted Beetroot Salad with Grapefruit and Dill combines tender roasted beetroot, pink grapefruit, crisp rye, shaved fennel and soft goat cheese. The beets are served just warm or at room temperature, so the salad has a pleasing mix of earthy, juicy, crunchy and creamy textures rather than feeling heavy. Prep 20 min, cook 45 min, serves 4 The dressing is sharp with grapefruit juice, lemon, Dijon and a little honey. Dill keeps the flavors in a Nordic-Central European direction, while toasted rye and hazelnuts give the plate enough substance for lunch or a light autumn supper. I leave the fennel very thin so it stays crisp beside the softer beetroot. Assemble the Roasted Beetroot Salad shortly before serving and spoon the dressing over the leaves and beetroot at the table if you expect leftovers. The dressed salad is best the same day, though the roasted beetroot, rye crumbs and dressing can each be prepared a day ahead and kept separately.

Ingredients

  • 500 g beetroot
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 slices rye bread
  • 40 g hazelnuts
  • 2 pink grapefruits
  • 1 small fennel bulb
  • 1 small radicchio
  • 100 g soft goat cheese
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt

Preparation

1. Heat the oven to 200°C. Scrub the beetroot, trim the ends and cut it into 2 cm wedges. 2. Toss the beetroot with 1 tbsp olive oil and ½ tsp salt on a baking tray. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once, until tender. 3. Cut the rye bread into small cubes. Add it to the tray for the final 8 minutes, then add the hazelnuts for the final 4 minutes. Let the beetroot cool for 10 minutes. 4. Cut the tops and bases from the grapefruits. Slice away the peel and pith, then cut out the segments over a bowl, squeezing the membranes to collect 2 tbsp juice. 5. Whisk the grapefruit juice, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, remaining olive oil and ½ tsp salt in a small bowl. 6. Thinly slice the fennel and radicchio. Toss them with the dill and half the dressing, then arrange on a platter with the beetroot and grapefruit. 7. Scatter over the rye cubes, hazelnuts and goat cheese. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve the Roasted Beetroot Salad at room temperature.
