🥗 Ingredients:
For the Roasted Beets:
3 medium beets, scrubbed and trimmed
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Salad:
4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
½ cup crumbled goat cheese
¼ cup toasted walnuts or pecans
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley (optional)
For the Dressing:
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
Salt and pepper to taste
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Roast the Beets
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45–60 minutes, until fork-tender. Let them cool, then peel and cut into wedges or slices.
2. Prepare the Dressing
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well emulsified. Taste and adjust as needed.
3. Assemble the Salad
On a large serving plate or bowl, lay down the mixed greens. Add beet slices, scatter the red onions, sprinkle with toasted nuts, and crumble goat cheese over the top.
4. Dress and Serve
Drizzle with the vinaigrette just before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Tips for Serving:
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
For extra texture, add sliced apples or pears.
Try using golden beets for a colorful variation.
