Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 3 medium Beets
- 4 oz Goat cheese
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beets thoroughly, trim off the tops, and wrap each one in aluminum foil.
Step 3
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork.
Step 4
While the beets are roasting, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 5
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 6
Once the beets have finished roasting, allow them to cool until they can be handled. Rub the skins off with a paper towel, then slice the beets into thin wedges or rounds.
Step 7
Place the fresh spinach in a large salad bowl. Top with the roasted beets, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts.
Step 8
Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spinach Salad with Beets!
