Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium beets trimmed and scrubbed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for roasting
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens arugula, spinach, or spring mix
  • 3 ounces goat cheese crumbled
  • ¼ cup toasted walnuts chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped

for the vinaigrette

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in foil, drizzling with olive oil before sealing. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for 45–60 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces through. Allow them to cool, then peel and slice into wedges or rounds.
  • Whisk together in a small bowl the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Toss the mixed greens with the vinaigrette in a large serving bowl. Arrange the roasted beets on top, then scatter the crumbled goat cheese, toasted walnuts, and fresh dill over the salad.
  • Serve immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Roast beets in advance and store them in the fridge for quick assembly.
  • Try using golden beets or a mix of red and golden beets for added color and variety.
  • Swap walnuts for pecans or pistachios for a different crunch.
  • If goat cheese isn’t your favorite, feta or blue cheese make great substitutes.
