Ingredients:

 

For the Salad:

4 medium beets (red, golden, or a mix)

 2 tbsp olive oil

¼ tsp salt

 ¼ tsp black pepper

4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or spring mix)

½ cup crumbled goat cheese (or feta)

¼ cup chopped walnuts (or pecans, toasted)

¼ cup thinly sliced red onion

½ an apple or pear, thinly sliced or thinly sliced mandarin oranges 

 

For the Dressing:

 3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

1. Roast the Beets:

 Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

 Scrub the beets, trim the tops, and wrap each in foil. Drizzle with a little olive oil before sealing.

Roast for 45 to 60 minutes until fork-tender. Let cool, then peel and cut into wedges or slices.

2. Prepare the Dressing:

 In a small jar or bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

3. Assemble the Salad:

 Toss the mixed greens with a little dressing.

 Arrange roasted beets, goat cheese, walnuts, red onion, and apple/pear slices over the greens.

Drizzle with more dressing and serve immediately.

 Quinoa for extra protein

  Orange segments for a citrus twist
