Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 5 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or kale)
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the beets, and wrap each one individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 35-45 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the beets are roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
Remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before carefully peeling off the skins.
Slice the peeled beets into wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mixed greens and sliced beets.
Add the dressing, tossing gently to coat.
Crumble goat cheese over the top of the salad.
Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant.
Add the toasted walnuts to the salad.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful and healthy keto salad.
