Ingredients
- 4 medium Beets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Walnuts
- 0.5 cups Goat cheese
- 6 cups Mixed greens
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and trim the beets, then wrap them individually in aluminum foil.
Step 3
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast for 35-45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
Step 4
While the beets are roasting, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
Once the beets are roasted and cool enough to handle, peel off the skins using a paper towel or your fingers (they should slide off easily). Cut the beets into wedges or slices.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens and roasted beets.
Step 8
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 9
Crumble the goat cheese over the top and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy!
