Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium red beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Begin by thoroughly washing the beets to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and roots.
Step 3
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes, or until they are easily pierced with a fork.
Step 4
While the beets are roasting, toast the walnuts. Place a small pan over medium heat, add the walnuts, and stir occasionally for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Step 5
Once the beets are roasted, let them cool until they are safe to handle. Using a paper towel, gently rub the skins off the beets.
Step 6
Slice the roasted beets into wedges or bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
Step 7
Drizzle the beets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss gently to coat.
Step 8
In a separate small bowl or jar, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Whisk or shake until well blended to make the dressing.
Step 9
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, roasted beets, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts.
Step 10
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Paleo-friendly beet salad!
