Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium fresh beetroots
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams goat cheese
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cups baby arugula
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the tops and roots of the beetroots, and wrap each in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beetroots on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until tender.
While the beetroots are roasting, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Roughly chop the walnuts and fresh parsley. Set aside.
Remove the beetroots from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skins off and slice the beetroots into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced beetroots with baby arugula.
Crumble the goat cheese over the beetroot and arugula, and sprinkle with chopped walnuts and parsley.
Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine and coat everything evenly.
Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
