Ingredients

• 4 medium beetroot
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• 4 ounces goat cheese
• 0.5 cup walnuts
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the beetroot thoroughly. Pat them dry using a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Wrap each beetroot in aluminum foil, drizzle each with about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 4

Place the wrapped beetroot on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

While the beetroot are roasting, prepare the rest of the salad. In a mixing bowl, combine mixed salad greens.

Step 6

Toast the walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until they're golden and fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the dressing.

Step 8

Once the beetroot are done roasting, carefully open the foil and let them cool slightly. Peel and slice them into wedges.

Step 9

Arrange the beetroot slices over the salad greens and crumble the goat cheese on top.

Step 10

Add the toasted walnuts over the salad and drizzle with the prepared dressing.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free roasted beetroot salad with goat cheese and walnuts.
