Servings: 4

Ingredients

Beets (4 medium-sized, scrubbed)
Mixed greens (6 cups, washed and dried)
Goat cheese (4 ounces, crumbled)
Walnuts (1/2 cup, chopped and toasted)
Red onion (1/4 cup, thinly sliced)
Olive oil (1/4 cup)
Balsamic vinegar (2 tablespoons)
Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
Honey (1 teaspoon)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Allow them to cool, then peel and slice into wedges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined to create a tangy 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 ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra goat cheese or walnuts if desired.
