Ingredients
- 3 large beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 1 cup walnuts
- 5 cups mixed salad greens
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and trim the beets, then wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil. Place the foil-wrapped beets on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast the beets in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Once done, let them cool slightly before peeling off the skins. Cut the peeled beets into bite-sized wedges.
Step 4
While the beets roast, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 5
Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 6
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted beets, and toasted walnuts. Toss gently to mix.
Step 7
Crumble the goat cheese over the salad.
Step 8
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss lightly to coat evenly.
Step 9
Serve immediately, and enjoy!
