Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Beets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Walnuts
- 0.5 cups Goat cheese
- 6 cups Mixed greens
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the beets, then wrap them individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast for 35-45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
While the beets are roasting, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Once the beets are roasted and cool enough to handle, peel off the skins using a paper towel or your fingers (they should slide off easily). Cut the beets into wedges or slices.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens and roasted beets.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Crumble the goat cheese over the top and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
