Vegetables

  • 4 medium beets, scrubbed clean (choose firm, unblemished beets for sweetness.)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper (adjust according to preference.)

Greens

  • 4 cups arugula or mixed greens (feel free to substitute with spinach or other greens.)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese (feta or blue cheese can be used as alternatives.)

  • Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast the wrapped beets on a baking sheet for 30-40 minutes until fork-tender.
  • Once done, let them cool slightly, then unwrap and peel the skins off the beets.

Notes

For added flavor, consider toasting the walnuts before adding them to the salad.
