Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese has been a family favorite for years. We especially love serving it during the fall or holiday season. Feel free to use different colors of beets to create an even starker contrast to your creamy goat cheese.

How to Make Roasted Beet Salad

• Dice you roasted beets, slice your pear, chop your walnuts, and crumble goat cheese.
• Put baby greens on a large, decorative serving plate. Top with beets, pear slices, and walnuts.
• Combine honey, dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Stir together until you get a smooth and consistent texture.
• Drizzle the top of the salad with dressing and finish with goat cheese crumbles.

Making Beet Salad Dressing

When making your beet salad dressing, a whisk will be your very best friend. Combine your ingredients together and whisk vigorously until nice and smooth.

Feel free to double or triple the recipe and store the rest in a Mason Jar for use throughout the week. When ready to use, shake the Mason Jar until you rid the dressing of any separation.

How to Make Roasted Beets

• Preheat your oven to 375°F. Scrub beets to remove any debris.
• Layout a large piece of aluminum foil and top it with parchment paper. Add raw beets and seal the foil into a tight pouch.
• Bake for about an hour. Poke beets with a knife or a fork.
• Allow the beets to cool enough to handle. Using rubber gloves (or your bare hands if you’re comfortable), slide the skins off the beets. They should come off super easily.
• Serve warm or chill in the fridge and top your salads throughout the week.

FAQ

Making Roasted Beet Salad Ahead of Time

This salad is awesome because it can be prepared hours ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Simply toss the dressing right before you serve to prevent it from turning soggy.
