Roasted Beet and Fennel Salad

 

Fall is in full effect, and it brings with it unique vegetables that I love to try out in new recipes for more variety and new flavors. I’ve also been looking for new recipes to include in my Thanksgiving menu. I absolutely love the Cauliflower Pecan Stuffing and this roasted beet and fennel salad also pairs well with all your Thanksgiving must haves.

It takes a little time to prepare, but you don’t need to save it for a special occasion. It is so good you may want to put it in your next weekly meal plan for some fall flavor that will introduce your family to some of the best vegetables the season has to offer.

Roasted Beet and Fennel Salad

Here is what you need:

1 bunch each of red and golden beets
1 fennel bulb
arugula

Step 3: Cut fronds off the fennel bulb. Then wash and cut fennel into sections.

  • This sound pretty yummy...but what's the real proportion of olive oil to honey mustard in the dressing? The prose for the recipe calls for 2 Tbls. honey mustard to 1/2 olive oil, the ingredients list calls for olive oil and 1 Tbls. honey mustard and the directions in the recipe call for 1/4 cup olive oil and 1.5 Tbls. honey mustard. Which is it?

    • Sorry for the confusion. When making this recipe we first tried the 1/4 cup olive oil and 1 TBSP honey mustard but it was to thick. So it should read 1/2 cup olive oil and 2 TBSP honey mustard.

  • I love beet salad but I usually boil the beets. I will definitely try this one to add some variety to our menu plan.
    However, I love putting feta cheese on beet salad. Great match in my mind!

  • This is a handy recipe to have. This summer, we grew beetroot and it was SO prolific we were giving it away left right and centre!!
    So, I'm grateful to have another way to prepare beetroot for my family! And we love salads too.
    Thanks!

    • This salad is really delicious and the perfect addition to any meal. I think your really going to love it!
