- 4 medium-sized beets
- 100g goat cheese
- 1/2 cup walnuts (toasted)
- 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Prepare the beets by scrubbing them clean, wrapping them in foil, and placing them on a baking tray. Roast for about 45 minutes or until tender. Let them cool before peeling and slicing into wedges.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Assemble the salad by placing the mixed greens in a large bowl. Top with roasted beet wedges, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts.
Drizzle the salad with the dressing, toss gently, and serve immediately.
- For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing.
- You can replace goat cheese with feta if preferred.
