Beet and Carrot Salad Recipe with Goat Cheese, Radish and Arugula
Our beet and carrot salad recipe with goat cheese, radish and arugula is a great beetroot salad for casual entertaining as it comes together quickly after roasting the beetroots, it’s stunning to look at, and it won’t wilt if you drizzle on the vinaigrette at the last minute. We do oven roasted beetroots but use canned beetroots if you can’t find fresh beets.

Ingredients
- 120 g beetroot scrubbed, trimmed (about one beetroot)
- 140 g carrot peeled, trimmed
- 3 small radishes trimmed, shaved into thin slices
- 100 g arugula and mustard leaves
- 80 g goat cheese or another soft white cheese
- 1 tbsp pistachios or walnuts or almonds, pan-roasted in a small dry pan
- 2 tbsp vinaigrette see recipe
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Loosely wrap the beetroot in foil and roast on a tray in the oven until soft, around 30 minutes or so; it will be ready when a skewer or fork easily slides into the beetroot.
- Carefully remove the foil, allow the beetroot to cool. Use a vegetable peeler to peel off and discard tough pieces of skin, then shave the beetroot into thin slices.
- While the beetroot is roasting and cooling, prep the rest of the ingredients: use a vegetable peeler to shave the carrot into thin long strips; cut the radish into thin slices; wash and dry the arugula and mustard leaves; and cut the goat cheese or another soft white cheese into small chunky pieces.
- Assemble the salad: lay down half the arugula and mustard leaves on the salad plate, arrange the carrot strips next, lay the beet slices and radish slices next, sprinkle on the goat cheese (or another soft or salty white cheese), scatter the pistachios (or walnuts or almonds) over the salad.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad, sprinkle on a pinch of salt, and serve immediately with extra dressing and ground black pepper.
