Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium red beets
- 2 medium golden beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups arugula
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the beets, leaving the skins on. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel their skins off using your hands or a paper towel. Slice the beets into wedges and set them aside.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for 2-3 minutes until they are fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the sherry vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the dressing with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a large salad bowl or on individual plates, arrange the arugula as a base.
Top the arugula with the roasted beet wedges, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts.
Drizzle the sherry vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy this colorful and flavorful beet salad!
