This week I’m sharing two recipes from a recent trip to the Strip district. Today it’s these golden beet noodles and on Sunday it’s going to be a simple Meyer lemon margarita.

I love the Strip District. It inspires me and I always find a few interesting things to try.  I’m fairly new to beets as just having tasted them the last few years. I don’t remember my mom ever serving them and they don’t sound appetizing so I never tried them. Now I love them so when I saw this big, beautiful box of golden beets (see below) I thought I’d give them a try. 

Other Beet Dishes To Try

Every spring I seem to crave beets. Here are just a few easy, healthy and tasty beet recipes to try this spring.

This pickled beet & gorgonzola spinach salad is full of delicious and nourishing ingredients such as berries, pecans and more.

Golden Beets

When I saw the color I just grabbed a few but to be honest I thought they were candy beets … those pretty beets with the circular pattern on the inside. No worries because these golden beets had lovely shade of yellow that I thought was gorgeous. I of course immediately thought of a salad as I’m a big salad maker and shared with you my pickled beet salad with gorgonzola last week.

Making Vegetable Noodles

My second thought was to pull out my spiralizer and make some veggie noodles. I have lots of veggie noodle dishes on this blog. Just scroll down and see a few at the end of this post. They are so good in my opinion. They take little time to make and they are crunchy, pretty, tasty and good for you!

It’s all in what you mix them with. Goat cheese and pine nuts work great with beets, especially if you roast them a bit. The roasting brings out sweetness that along with tangy goat cheese and crunchy pine nuts is the perfect taste combination.

I’m not exaggerating when I say I love this dish. I’m going to make this dish a lot this spring.

Golden Beet Noodles Recipe

To make the beet noodles you need a spiralizer but you could use a julienne peeler or if you are specially skilled you can do something with a regular vegetable peeler.

If you just want to make these with out the noodle effect, just make sure you cut them into bite size pieces so they are easily cooked. Just toss them with a little olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper and roast for 15 minutes.

I like them al dente but if you like them softer cook them longer. That’s all the cooking you are going to do, except for the toasting the pine nuts for a few minutes in a dry skillet. You can do that when the noodles are roasting. After that, just mix in a little goat cheese and pine nuts and serve.

These are very similar to my basil & beet salad that I made a long time ago but to me this is more of a main dish and should be served warm. Start to finish this only takes about 20 minutes so you can’t beat that!

I hope you like this as much as I did. I really did … it’s my kind of thing with the goat cheese and pine nuts. Yum! It’s a good dish to bring in the spring, enjoy!

    When I first started reeding this I thought they were beets added to flour to make noodles. I’m sure glad I read all of this. This recipe is really piquing my interest. I’d love to try it out. Adding goat cheese to it plus the pine nuts is perfection.

    I’ve never had beets like this! Or even seen a golden beet in our grocery store. Something to be on the lookout for this summer at farmer’s markets.

    Love the Noodle option to this salad. My family to love it. I am a lover of cheese and so this is perfect for me too. Pine Nuts give it a lovely Nutty flavor too.

    What a great way to enjoy beets. For some reason (unless I go to the Farmer’s market), finding the gold or candy beets is almost impossible. I love my spiralizer too. This looks like a great salad for BBQ parties.

    I have never thought about spiraling beets into noodles before, this sounds amazing! Love the addition of the pine nuts and goat cheese 🙂
