Ingredients
- 3 baby red beetroots, trimmed and scrubbed
- 3 baby yellow beetroots, trimmed and scrubbed
- 2 tsp raspberry vinegar
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- 1½ tbsp walnut oil (see Note)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh goat's cheese
- 2 tbsp walnut halves, lightly toasted
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
Instructions
Cook the cleaned baby beetroots in a saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for 20 minutes or until tender and a knife inserts easily. Drain the beetroots and stand until cool. Using kitchen gloves, peel the beetroot, then cut in half lengthways.
Meanwhile, place the vinegar, mustard, walnut oil and a little salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
If the goat's cheese is firm, soften it with a spoon, then spread it in the centre of 2 plates. Arrange the beetroot around the goat’s cheese, then scatter the walnuts over the top. Drizzle the dressing over the beetroot and sprinkle with chives just before serving.
Note:
• Make sure the walnut oil you buy has been stored in the refrigerator because it will quickly turn rancid if left at room temperature.
