Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beetroot
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 100 grams goat cheese
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beetroot thoroughly, then cut off the stems and roots. Wrap each beetroot individually in aluminum foil.
Step 3
Place the wrapped beetroots on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender and easy to pierce with a fork.
Step 4
While the beetroots are roasting, prepare the salad dressing by mixing the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 5
Once the beetroots are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before unwrapping. Peel off the skins, which should come off easily.
Step 6
Slice the peeled beetroots into wedges or cubes, depending on your preference.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and sliced beetroot.
Step 8
Crumble the goat cheese over the salad and sprinkle the sunflower seeds on top.
Step 9
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to ensure even distribution of ingredients and dressing.
Step 10
Garnish the salad with fresh parsley before serving.
