Description

This vibrant Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Balsamic is the perfect balance of earthy roasted beets, tangy goat cheese, and crunchy nuts, all drizzled with a sweet balsamic dressing. Ideal as an elegant appetizer or side dish for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium beets, roasted and sliced or cubed
  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Roast the Beets: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in foil and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Let them cool, then peel and slice or cube the beets. (For a quicker option, use pre-cooked or canned beets.)
  • Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, arrange the mixed greens. Top with roasted beets, crumbled goat cheese, toasted walnuts or pecans, and thinly sliced red onion.
  • Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  • Garnish: If desired, add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor.
  • Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy this beautiful and flavorful Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Balsamic!

Notes

  • You can prepare the beets in advance and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the salad.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
