Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroot
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 120 grams mixed salad greens
- 150 grams dairy-free goat cheese
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 2
Wash and peel the beetroots, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Step 3
Place the beetroot cubes onto a baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Roast the beetroots in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
Step 5
While the beetroots are roasting, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice to create the dressing.
Step 7
Once the beetroots are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 8
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, roasted beetroots, and walnuts.
Step 9
Crumble the dairy-free goat cheese over the salad.
Step 10
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 11
Garnish with fresh basil leaves just before serving.
Step 12
Serve the salad immediately as a side dish or a light main course.
