Ingredients
- 4 pcs medium beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 0.5 cups dairy-free goat cheese
- 0.5 cups walnuts
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Once the beets are done roasting, allow them to cool for a few minutes before handling. Unwrap the foil and peel the skins off the beets using a paper towel or knife.
Step 6
Slice the peeled beets into wedges or cubes, according to your preference.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens and roasted beet pieces.
Step 8
Gently toss the salad with the prepared dressing, ensuring all the ingredients are well coated.
