Chef Chris's Culinary Delight: The Perfect Beet Salad

Welcome to Chef Chris's kitchen at Tiki Iniki in the Princeville Shopping Center on the beautiful North Shore. In today's episode, Chef Chris is preparing a delicious beet salad that will tantalize your taste buds.

To start off, Chef Chris roasts red beets with a hint of garlic, rosemary, and thyme, drizzled with olive oil for that perfect flavor infusion. Next, he introduces two additional beet varieties - candy stripe and golden beets - adding a vibrant array of colors to the salad. The beets are seasoned with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.

The highlight of this salad is the unique citrus vinaigrette. Unlike traditional vinaigrettes, Chef Chris uses natural sugars from orange juice, grapefruit juice, and lime juice, reducing them to create a tangy, refreshing dressing. This citrus vinaigrette is then emulsified with olive oil and seasoning, creating a light and flavorful coating for the beets.

Once the beets are coated in the citrus vinaigrette, Chef Chris showcases their beauty by arranging them on the plate, showcasing their vibrant colors. To add a creamy element, he incorporates a goat cheese mousse made with local goat cheese, cream, lime, and citrus zest, whipped together to achieve a velvety texture.

To further enhance the salad's texture and taste, Chef Chris adds orange segments and grapefruit slices, providing a burst of citrusy goodness. For a delightful crunch, he incorporates ginger snap cookies, both as a base for the goat cheese mousse and crumbled on top, adding a delightful contrast of textures.

Finally, Chef Chris adds a touch of freshness and vibrant green color to the dish with radish sprouts. The beet salad is now complete, a masterpiece of flavors, textures, and colors.
