Roasted beets tossed with spicy arugula, toasted walnuts, a simple lemon vinaigrette and goat cheese is the perfect winter salad.
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
2
Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until cooked through and fork tender. Let cool completely before peeling and chopping. Set aside.
3
While the beets are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and toast until fragrant and lightly toasted. Remove, let cool and then roughly chop.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon, extra virgin olive oil, honey and salt and pepper.
5
Add the arugula to a large salad bowl along with the chopped beats. Drizzle the dressing over top and add the walnuts and goat cheese on top. Enjoy!
