Ingredients

• 4 medium beets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 0.5 cup walnuts
• 0.5 cup goat cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim the stems and roots from the beets. Wash and scrub them thoroughly to remove any dirt.

Step 3

Place the beets on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Wrap the foil tightly around the beets to form a sealed packet.

Step 4

Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the beets are fork-tender.

Step 5

Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool until they can be handled. Use a paper towel or your hands to rub off the skin. Slice the beets into wedges and set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and the remaining salt and black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 8

Arrange the mixed salad greens on a serving platter or individual plates. Top with the roasted beet wedges.

Step 9

Drizzle the horseradish cream dressing over the beets and greens.

Step 10

Sprinkle the salad with the toasted walnuts and crumbled goat cheese.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy!
