Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium fresh beets
- 100 grams goat cheese
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the beets, then wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beets from the oven and let them cool slightly. Peel off the skin and cut the beets into thin wedges.
While the beets are roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, roasted beet wedges, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad, and gently toss to combine everything together.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, keto-friendly Beet and Goat Cheese Salad!
