Ingredients
Grapefruit Vinaigrette
- 1/2 large ruby red grapefruit, juiced (or 3/4 cup ruby red grapefruit juice)
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons freshly chopped basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Beet Salad
- 2 cups water
- 6 medium golden beets
- 20 small pearl red onions
- 1/2 pound French green beans
- 2 ounces farm goat cheese
Preparation
- Preheat grill using charcoal.
- In small bowl, whisk grapefruit juice and olive oil together with basil, thyme, salt and pepper until emulsified.
- Bring three inches of cold water to boil in a 2-quart saucepan. Once boiling, add green beans to pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until bright green. Drain beans and place in large bowl, filled with ice and water. Once cooled, remove beans and place on a paper towel to drain.
- Place onions in vegetable grill pan over direct heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill and let cool.
- Grill beets for 5 to 7 minutes over medium heat, or until they have softened and have grill marks. Remove beets and place a large bowl. Once cool, cut beets in half.
- Combine beans, onions, beets and goat cheese in large bowl, and toss with enough vinaigrette to lightly coat. Chill covered for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
