Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroot
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 5 cups mixed salad greens
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beetroot thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Trim off the tops and tails of the beetroot, then cut them into quarters.
Step 4
Place the beetroot on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper, ensuring the pieces are well coated.
Step 5
Roast the beetroot in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 6
In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the walnuts for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice to make the dressing.
Step 8
In a large salad bowl, add the mixed salad greens and toss them with the dressing until well coated.
Step 9
Once the roasted beetroot is cool enough to handle, add them to the salad bowl.
Step 10
Crumble the goat cheese over the salad and sprinkle the toasted walnuts on top.
Step 11
Gently toss the salad to combine all the ingredients, ensuring even distribution of the cheese and nuts.
Step 12
Serve the salad immediately, and enjoy the delicious mix of flavors and textures.
