Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Beets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 0.5 cup Goat cheese
- 0.333 cup Walnuts
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Raspberry vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beets thoroughly under running water to remove dirt. Do not peel them yet.
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the beets are roasting, prepare the raspberry dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine fresh raspberries, raspberry vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Once the beets are roasted and cool enough to handle, remove the foil and gently rub the skins off using a paper towel. Slice or dice the peeled beets as desired.
Toast the walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, roasted beet slices, goat cheese crumbles, and toasted walnuts.
Drizzle the raspberry dressing over the salad just before serving, tossing lightly to coat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Yummy Beet Salad with Raspberry Dressing!
