Instructions

1

Roast the beets: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and roast for 40 minutes or until tender. Let cool, then peel and slice.

2

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

3

Toast the walnuts: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for 3-5 minutes until fragrant. Let cool and chop roughly.

4

Assemble the salad: On a serving platter, layer mixed greens, sliced beets, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts.

5

Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.

6

Toss gently to combine or serve as a layered salad for a more elegant presentation.

Chef's Tips

  • Roasting Tip: Roast beets a day ahead to save time. Store them in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Cheese Variation: Substitute goat cheese with feta or blue cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Nut-Free Option: Replace walnuts with pumpkin seeds for a nut-free version.
  • Extra Flavor: Add thinly sliced red onion or avocado for additional layers of flavor.
  • Storage: Assemble the salad without dressing if making ahead. Add dressing just before serving to keep greens crisp.
