Golden Beet Salad



Martha Stewart Living, 2008

Makes 6 servings

    6 golden beets trim                                            
    6 ounces haricot verts trim                                    
    Salt and pepper                                                
    2 tablespoons white wine vinegar                               
    2 tablespoons mince shallots                                   
    2 teaspoons dijon style mustard                                
    1/4 cup evoo                                                   
    1/4 cup loose pack basil                                       
    2 ounces goat cheese crumble  
                                 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wrap beets in parchment, then foil, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 60 minutes. Let cool completely. Peel and cut beets into 1/2-inch dice. Transfer to a large bowl.

Prepare an ice-water bath. Cook haricots verts in boiling salted water until bright green and crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath, and drain. Cut beans diagonally into thirds, and add to beets.

Mix vinegar, shallot, and mustard in a small bowl. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Toss with vegetables, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in torn basil and goat cheese. Garnish with basil leaves.
