Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2
Prepare the beets

Trim the stems and roots from 4 medium beets and wash them thoroughly. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.

3
Roast the beets

Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

4
Toast the walnuts

While the beets are roasting, toast 1 cup of walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, then roughly chop the walnuts.

5
Prepare the vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.

6
Peel and slice the beets

Once the roasted beets are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and slice the beets into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

7
Assemble the salad

In a large salad bowl, arrange 4 cups of mixed salad greens. Top the greens with the sliced beets and chopped toasted walnuts.

8
Add the goat cheese

Crumble 4 ounces of goat cheese over the salad.

9
Dress the salad

Drizzle the honey-mustard vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine.

10
Serve

Serve the beet and walnut salad immediately, while the beets are still slightly warm, for a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.
