Servings: 4

Ingredients

Beets (4 medium-sized, scrubbed)
Mixed greens (4 cups)
Goat cheese (4 ounces, crumbled)
Walnuts (1/2 cup, chopped)
Red onion (1/2 cup, thinly sliced)
Olive oil (1/4 cup)
Balsamic vinegar (2 tablespoons)
Dijon mustard (1 teaspoon)
Honey (1 teaspoon)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce them. Let the beets cool slightly, then carefully peel and slice them into wedges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined to create the vinaigrette.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted beet wedges, crumbled goat cheese, chopped walnuts, and thinly sliced red onion.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
