Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Red beets
- 3 medium Golden beets
- 4 cups Arugula or mixed greens
- 0.5 cup Goat cheese (crumbled)
- 0.33 cup Pecans (toasted and chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the red and golden beets thoroughly. Trim off the tops and roots, and wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Once the beets are cool enough to handle, unwrap them and rub the skins off using a paper towel. Slice the beets into wedges and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, add the arugula or mixed greens, roasted beet wedges, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted pecans.
Drizzle the maple Dijon dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mixed Beet Salad with Maple Dijon Dressing!
