Ingredients
- 3 medium beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 100 grams goat cheese
- 1 cup walnuts
- 150 grams mixed greens
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beets thoroughly and trim off the leafy tops and the root ends.
Step 3
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
Step 4
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 5
While the beets are roasting, spread the walnuts on a small baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until they are golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Once toasted, set aside to cool.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 7
Once the beets have finished roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool until they can be handled safely. Peel the skins off the beets using your hands or a small knife.
Step 8
Slice the peeled beets into 1/4-inch thick rounds or cubes, whichever you prefer for your salad arrangement.
Step 9
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced beets, and toasted walnuts.
Step 10
Crumble the goat cheese over the salad.
Step 11
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all the ingredients.
