Beet, citrus and goat cheese mousse salad Recipe
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Cooking time: None
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
This fresh summer salad can be made hours in advance and kept in the fridge.
We've specified 4 to 12 portions - it can be served as a first course (4 servings), but we're suggesting here that it be served as tapas (12 servings).
Ingredients
For 4 to 12 servings
- 2 grapefruits
- 2 oranges
- 2 small cooked beets
Vinaigrette
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Goat cheese mousse
- 120 g fresh goat cheese
- 125 ml / 1/2 cup whipping cream
- A knife point of ginger purée or fresh grated ginger
Method
- Wash one orange and grate the zest. Set aside.
- Peel the grapefruits and oranges, removing the white pith, and cut into supremes (sections without the membrane). Chop finely.
- Peel and finely dice the beets.
- In a bowl, whisk the goat cheese with a little creamy until mousse-like. At this point, you can transfer it to a piping bag if you wish. Refrigerate.
Vinaigrette
- Combine the grated orange zest with the wine vinegar.
- Gradually whisk in the olive oil to emulsify.
Finishing and presentation
- In a large bowl, combine the beets, citrus and viniagrette.
- Pour into small wine glasses (tapas version).
- Garnish with a spoonful or piped rosette of goat cheese mousse.
Sommelier
Sauvignon blanc Jackson Triggs
This Sauvignon Blanc offers a number of contrasts with its vivacious character, its hint of mildness and its aromatic profile, where grapefruit, rhubarb and fine herbal notes prevail.
Pairing Sauvignon Blanc with goat cheese is a classic choice, and the addition of citrus in this instance will add a little more pop to the slightly acidic taste of the cheese.
