Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Clean the beets and wrap each one individually in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until they are easily pierced with a knife.
Once cooked, remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Unwrap the beets and gently peel the skin away using a paper towel. Chop the beets into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens and chopped beets.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure the greens and beets are well-coated.
Crumble the goat cheese over the salad and sprinkle with the walnuts.
Toss lightly once more before serving, ensuring an even distribution of beets, cheese, and nuts throughout the salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delightful low carb beet and goat cheese salad.
