- 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and roast on a baking sheet for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Let cool, then peel and thinly slice.
- While the beets are roasting, segment the oranges over a bowl to catch the juices, reserving 2 tbsp of the juice for the dressing.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved orange juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
- Arrange the sliced beets and orange segments on a serving platter. Drizzle with the dressing, then sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese, toasted walnuts, and fresh mint.
- Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
The contrast between the earthy beets and the bright, citrusy oranges is nothing short of magical, with the creamy goat cheese and crunchy walnuts adding layers of texture. Serve this stunner as a side at your next dinner party or enjoy it as a light, refreshing lunch on a sunny afternoon.
Vegan Beetroot Ice Cream
Yikes, who knew beetroot could moonlight as the star of your dessert? This Vegan Beetroot Ice Cream is here to prove that veggies can indeed be the life of the party, with a vibrant hue that’ll make your Instagram feed pop and a flavor that’s unexpectedly divine.
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw beetroot, peeled and finely grated
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine the finely grated beetroot, coconut milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend on high for 45 seconds until completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Tip: For an extra creamy texture, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 2 hours before churning.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Tip: Press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface before freezing to prevent ice crystals.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Tip: Garnish with edible flowers or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate for an elegant touch.
Craving something that’s as bold in color as it is in flavor? This ice cream delivers a velvety texture with earthy sweetness, perfect for pairing with a crisp vegan shortbread or simply savoring straight from the spoon under the summer sun.
