- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoons honey

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the beetroots to remove any dirt and pat them dry with paper towels.
Individually wrap each beetroot in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beetroots in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Allow the roasted beetroots to cool slightly, then peel and chop them into bite-sized wedges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, lemon juice, remaining olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, add the arugula or mixed greens and toss them with half of the dressing.
Top the greens with the roasted beetroot wedges.
Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and chopped walnuts over the salad.
Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy Paleo beetroot salad with a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
