Beet, Blueberry and Basil Sauce over Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese
A quick and easy way to bring elegance to any small bite, salad, or topping for a main dish! The sweetness of the blueberries complements the rich flavor of the beet and combine to form a refreshingly light sauce that is surprisingly versatile!
Equipment
- Food Processor
- Kitchen knife
Ingredients
- 1/2 Fresh Lemon
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 prepared Beet Boiled/roasted and peeled
- 2 tsp Balsamic VInegar
- 1-2 bunches Fresh Basil save some leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In food processor, placed sliced beet, blueberries, squeezed lemon juice and balsamic and puree until smooth.
- For a sweeter sauce, alter proportions of blueberries and vinegar. Suggestions for serving: pictured above is smoked salmon with goat cheese over slices of cucumber. This would also be great on a spinach salad with beets, feta, and walnuts, or drizzled over roasted meats. Because of the contrast with beets and blueberries, the sauce itself is very versatile and would be great made in a large batch to use in many ways!
