This beet salad with goat cheese is fresh, vibrant, and easy to prepare. Roasted beets, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy walnuts come together with a simple vinaigrette for a stunning side or light lunch.
Preheat the oven to 400℉. Arrange beet slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted beet slices, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped walnuts.
Drizzle with vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use red or golden beets; both work beautifully here.
Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until fragrant.
You can add orange segments or a drizzle of honey for an added flavor.
