Roasted Beets Carrots Burrata Salad (Print Version)

Sweet beets, carrots, burrata, and greens with tangy vinaigrette for a vibrant, satisfying seasonal salad.

# Ingredients:

→ Salad

01 - 3 red beets with tops, scrubbed, halved and sliced
02 - 3 golden beets with tops, scrubbed, halved and sliced
03 - 6 carrots, halved lengthwise
04 - 30 ml olive oil
05 - Salt, to taste
06 - Reserved beet greens, ribs removed and torn into pieces
07 - Fresh burrata cheese, at room temperature for serving
08 - Fresh rosemary, for garnish

→ Dressing

09 - 45 ml olive oil
10 - 30 ml white wine vinegar
11 - 15 ml honey
12 - 1 garlic clove, crushed
13 - 5 ml fresh rosemary, minced
14 - Salt, to taste

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C. Trim beet tops, reserving the greens. Scrub beets thoroughly. Halve and slice beets and carrots. Remove ribs from beet greens and tear greens into pieces.
02 - Keep red beets separate from golden beets and carrots to prevent color bleeding. Toss sliced beets and carrots with 30 ml olive oil and salt. Arrange in a single layer on a baking tray, maintaining separation of red beets.
03 - Roast vegetables in the oven for 30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized at the edges.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together 45 ml olive oil, 30 ml white wine vinegar, 15 ml honey, crushed garlic, minced rosemary, and salt until fully emulsified.
05 - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté beet greens for 2 minutes, until just wilted. Transfer greens to a serving platter.
06 - Arrange roasted vegetables over sautéed beet greens. Tear burrata cheese and distribute over the top. Drizzle with dressing and finish with fresh rosemary.

# Notes:

01 - Roast beets whole and unpeeled to retain moisture, then peel after roasting for easier handling.
02 - Keep burrata in its liquid until serving, and use at room temperature for optimal creaminess.
03 - Cut carrots slightly smaller than beets to ensure even roasting.
04 - Assemble salad just before serving to preserve freshness and texture.
05 - Dressing can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a week.
