Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Roast the Beets

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the baby beets in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45 minutes or until tender. Once done, let them cool, then peel and slice.

  2. 2

    Roast the Watermelon

    Cut the watermelon into thick slices and remove the rind. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until slightly caramelized.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Walnuts

    In a small skillet, toast the walnuts over medium heat until golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

  4. 4

    Make the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted beets, roasted watermelon, and chopped fresh tarragon. Tear the Little Gem lettuce into pieces and add to the bowl. Top with the garlicky walnuts.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with Champagne vinaigrette and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
