Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized beets
- 6 cups baby spinach
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 1 cup pecans
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beets thoroughly, trim the stems, and wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
Step 3
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife or skewer can easily pierce through the center of each beet.
Step 4
While the beets are roasting, prepare the pecans. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing. Adjust the seasoning to taste, if needed.
Step 6
Once the beets are roasted, allow them to cool slightly, then peel off the skins by rubbing them gently with a paper towel. Cut the peeled beets into bite-sized cubes.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, roasted beet cubes, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted pecans.
Step 8
Drizzle the salad with the prepared dressing and toss gently to combine.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Roasted Beet Spinach Goat Cheese Mix!
