    Why This Recipe Works

    • This salad is very easy to make! I get ready-to-go steamed beets which are very convenient. You'll need to do a little chopping and assemble the easy vinaigrette and that's it! All the flavors pair beautifully!
    • Beets and goat cheese are already a match made in heaven! Add crunchy cucumber and you get such a delicious refreshing appetizer or side dish everyone will love.

    How To Make Beet And Cucumber Salad

    • The vegetarian recipe has minimal ingredients. The champagne vinaigrette requires little work, is so delicious and worth it! It really completes this salad recipe. You'll need a small shallot, champagne vinegar, avocado oil (or any neutral tasting oil), garlic powder and a little Dijon mustard.

    • If you choose to cook your own beets instead of buying them ready-to-go, you absolutely can! Trim and wash the beets really well. The easiest way is to simply boil them. Depending on their size, it will take 25 min to 1 hour. Just check them until fork-tender. Once soft, move the beets to an ice bath and peel them. You can use a paper towel, the skin will come right off. Make sure to trim any remaining hard parts.
    • I recommend using English cucumber or mini persian cucumbers for this recipe as they are not as watery as a regular one. But you can still use a simple cucumber, just cut in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds in the middle. Once chopped, you'll want to salt the cucumber pieces generously and let them sit on paper towels. This will release extra water to assure nice crunchiness!

    Tips And FAQs

    • This beet and cucumber salad will store well in the fridge in an air-tight container for 2 to 3 days. After that, the cucumber will get soggy.
    • Can I use a different kind of cheese besides goat? Sure, feta will work but it's not as creamy as goat cheese which is the reason goat is my preferred choice!
    • Can I add nuts? Absolutely! Candied walnuts or pecans would work beautifully with this recipe!
