Roast Roots and Orange Salad
Description
Oranges add freshness to balance the richness of winter’s comfort food – in this instance roasted root vegetables – in this salad recipe.
Ingredients
- 4 parsnips, halved lengthways
- 3 beetroot, cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 oranges, peeled
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 radicchio (treviso variety works well)
- 50g toasted hazelnuts
- 75g soft goat’s curd or goat’s cheese
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan/gas 6. Toss the parsnips and beetroot with the olive oil in a roasting tray. Roast for 45-50 minutes until tender and caramelised.
- Meanwhile, slice one orange into segments, squeezing the juice from the pulp into a small bowl, then cut the remaining orange into rounds.
- Whisk the extra-virgin olive oil into the orange juice, then season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the radicchio leaves with the warm roasted veg, then arrange on a platter, scattered with the orange segments and rounds, hazelnuts and cheese. Drizzle with the dressing and serve.
