Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups baby arugula
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beets thoroughly and trim off any greens. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the oven for 40 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool before handling.
Once cooled, peel the beets by gently rubbing the skins off with your hands or a paper towel. Slice the beets into wedges or thin rounds.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, honey, white wine vinegar, and olive oil to make the vinaigrette. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby arugula and roasted beet slices.
Crumble the goat cheese over the salad and sprinkle with walnuts for added crunch.
Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tasty Summer Beet Salad!
