Ingredients
- 2 Green apples
- 2 medium Beets
- 4 cups Arugula
- 1 cup Goat cheese
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beets thoroughly, wrap them individually in aluminum foil, and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 3
Once the beets are done, let them cool for 10 minutes. Peel off their skins (they should come off easily) and slice them into thin wedges or rounds.
Step 4
While the beets are roasting, core and thinly slice the green apples. You can leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Step 5
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, roasted beets, green apple slices, and toasted walnuts.
Step 8
Crumble the goat cheese over the top of the salad.
Step 9
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant Green Apple and Beet Salad!
