Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium red beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups mixed greens
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly. Trim off the greens if still attached.
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the beets are roasting, prepare the salad dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, honey, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Allow the roasted beets to cool slightly before handling. Once cool enough to handle, unwrap them from the foil and peel the skin off. The skin should slide off easily. If not, use a paring knife gently.
Cut the peeled beets into bite-sized wedges.
In a large salad bowl, combine mixed greens and roasted beet wedges.
Crumble the goat cheese over the top of the salad and sprinkle with walnuts.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately or chill for a few minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together.
