Step-by-Step Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the beets under running water, scrubbing away soil without damaging the skin. Trim and discard the tips and roots.
  • Wrap each beet in aluminum foil, creating a tight seal to steam while roasting. Lay them on a baking sheet, allowing them to roast for 45-60 minutes until fork-tender.
  • Once roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling off the skin, revealing their vibrant insides.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Set it aside to let the flavors meld together.
  • In a salad bowl, place mixed greens as the base. Slice the roasted beets into desired shapes and arrange them on top of the greens. Scatter crumbled goat cheese, toasted walnuts, and sliced red onions over the salad.
  • Dress the salad just before serving. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated. Finish with a sprinkle of your choice of fresh herbs for an added splash of color and flavor.
