A vibrant celebration of flavors combining earthy roasted beets with creamy goat cheese and crunchy walnuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 medium-sized fresh beets
- 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or salad mix)
- ¼ cup walnuts, toasted
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the washed beets in alumium foil and roast for about 45-60 minutes until tender. Let them cool, then peel off the skins.

- Whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle this over your salad just before serving.
- Toss everything gently to combine, then enjoy!
Notes
Roasting brings out the sweetness in the beets, so don’t rush this step! Feel free to add diced apples or pomegranate seeds for extra flavor.
