Beetroot, Red Pepper & Goat’s Cheese Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Salads aren’t just for the summer. This Beetroot, Red Pepper & Goat’s Cheese Salad is a comforting salad that adds colour to any Winter meal. 

Learning to love beetroot

Beetroot hasn’t always been a vegetable I was fond of. I don’t know why I used to not be keen on it, but in the last couple of years I have embraced beetroot!

Up until recently I’d bought the precooked beetroot. But all that has changed now!

Last month Mr Curly and I took the dogs for a weekend away in the Cotswolds. We had a lovely time walking around the little towns and of course I had to go into every food shop there was!

There were some fantastic delis that I would love to live close to because I’d be there all the time. One of the delis had a Beetroot, Red Pepper & Goat’s Cheese Salad that looked absolutely delicious so I had to get some. 

reCreating this beetroot, red pepper & goat’s cheese salad

It was so tasty I knew I had to recreate the salad myself. This wasn’t very hard as it was so simple in the first place!

I did make one small change to their original recipe. They had used chioggia beetroot as well as the standard type of beetroot. Although this looks pretty, I didn’t like the flavour as much as ordinary beetroot. 

I’ve recently started ordering a vegetable box which gets delivered each week. When beetroot came in my box I knew I had to recreate the recipe myself!

It also gave me the prefect reason to roast my own beetroot which I am pleased to say was incredibly easy. 

So simple and delicious

This salad is so simple to make, it just takes some very easy prep work. Once you have roasted the beetroot and slow cooked the peppers you are practically there! 

This salad makes a delicious light lunch, but it could also act as a tasty side dish to a number of main meals. It also adds some fantastic colour to a Winter’s day.

Ingredients

  • 400 g red peppers (approx 4)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 150 g beetroot (2 large)
  • 40 g soft goat’s cheese
  • parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170170ºC (fan assisted, 190ºC non fan). Wrap your beetroot in foil and place directly on the oven shelf. Roast for 50 minutes until you can easily stick the point of a knife into it

  2. Leave the beetroot to cool 

  3. Thinly slice the peppers and fry them on a low heat for 20-25 minutes until they have softened 

  4. Once the beetroot is cool enough to handle, peel it. The skin should come away very easily now it has been roasted. Cut into chunks 

  5. Add the peppers and beetroot to your serving dish and then crumble the goats cheese over. Finish by scattering with some chopped parsley

    I went for 20 years without beetroot passing my lips, so it’s nice to know that I’m not the only one! I gave it a try again last summer: my OWN preparation, so at least I couldn’t blame anyone else. It was much better than I remember, but still a bit on the…er, muddy side. But pairing this beastie with strong flavors like vinaigrette or goat cheese, as you’ve done here, will actually compliment that “earthiness.” I’m excited to try this salad!

      Haha! You are definitely not alone! I completely get what you mean. I tried the chioggia beetroot and I thought that tasted muddier and a little bit like soil. They look pretty but I much prefer the standard beetroot.

    Beets make such great winter salads and the goats cheese is a lovely tangy, creamy addition to make.

    I had never tried beetroot until I went on my honeymoon. I think it’s because you are normally presented with the stuff out of a jar! This was fresh and I fell in love. We hosted a BBQ and I knew we had to serve this. Quick, simple and delicious and our guests loved it to. Will definitely be making again!
