Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly, then wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.

2

Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

3

Let the beets cool slightly, then peel and slice them into thin rounds or wedges.

4

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

5

Arrange the mixed greens on a serving platter. Top with sliced beets, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped walnuts.

6

Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss lightly if desired.

Chef's Tips

  • Roasting Tip: Roasting beets enhances their natural sweetness. For a quicker option, you can also boil or steam them.
  • Cheese Substitution: If you don’t like goat cheese, feta or blue cheese make great alternatives.
  • Nut-Free Option: Replace walnuts with sunflower seeds or omit them entirely for a nut-free version.
  • Make Ahead: Roast the beets and prepare the dressing a day in advance for quicker assembly.
  • Extra Flavor: Add a handful of fresh herbs like mint or basil for an extra burst of flavor.
