    An overview - making roasted beet & goat cheese salad:

    Keep scrolling to find complete instructions for this recipe. I’ll start here with a quick overview!

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
    • Peel and dice beets. Place cubes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and use your hands to move them around to fully coat.
    • Sprinkle cubes with salt and pepper and bake for about 30 minutes. Once beets can be easily pierced through with the prongs of a fork, they are done.
    • While beets roast, place mixed greens, diced avocado, goat cheese crumbles and chopped walnuts in a large mixing bowl.
    • In a separate, smaller mixing bowl, make your salad dressing.
    • Once your beets are done roasting, add them to the bowl and toss all ingredients together.
    • Plate salad, add dressing and enjoy!

    What to serve with roasted beet & goat cheese salad:

    Beet and goat cheese salad is an excellent make ahead lunch all on it's own. If you're having it for dinner, you'll probably want to pair it with a main course! Here are some ideas:

    • Spinach & Blue Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
    • Cheesy Twice Baked Potatoes
    • Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup
    • Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
    • Baked Feta Pasta

    Beet & goat cheese salad dressing:

    I prefer a creamy balsamic vinaigrette on this salad! If you're craving something a little sweeter, a poppy seed dressing would also be delicious.

    Handy tips:

    • A good vegetable peeler will make prepping your beets so much easier! For the longest time I used an old, dull peeler and dreaded working with thick skinned veggies. Finally, I broke down and bought a new, heavy duty vegetable peeler (pictured below). It was super affordable so I'm not sure why I waited so long! It's the best purchase I've made in a while. Highly recommend!
