Ingredients

• 1 lb Asparagus
• 3 medium Beets
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 5 oz Mixed salad greens
• 2 oz Goat cheese
• 0.33 cup Pecans
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the beets thoroughly. Place them on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap them tightly. Roast in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Let them cool before peeling off their skins and slicing into wedges.

Step 3

While the beets roast, trim the woody ends from the asparagus stalks. Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 4

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the asparagus for 2-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Prepare the honey mustard dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6

In a large salad bowl, arrange the mixed greens. Top with sliced roasted beets, grilled asparagus, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted pecans.

Step 7

Drizzle the honey mustard dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss lightly if desired. Serve immediately.
