Ingredients

• 4 medium beets
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• 0.5 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 0.25 cup chopped toasted walnuts
• 0.5 cup fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons raspberry preserves
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for vinaigrette)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Clean the beets by scrubbing them under running water, then trim off the stems and roots.

Step 3

Drizzle the beets with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.

Step 4

Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 40-50 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

While the beets are roasting, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of raspberry preserves, 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.

Step 6

Once the beets are roasted, allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Then, gently peel off the skins using your hands or a paper towel.

Step 7

Slice the roasted beets into thin wedges or rounds.

Step 8

On a large serving platter or individual plates, arrange 6 cups of mixed salad greens.

Step 9

Top the greens with the sliced roasted beets, 0.5 cups of crumbled goat cheese, 0.25 cups of chopped toasted walnuts, and 0.5 cups of fresh raspberries.

Step 10

Drizzle the raspberry balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your roasted beet salad with raspberry balsamic vinaigrette!
