A vibrant and flavorful salad featuring sweet roasted beetroot, creamy goat cheese, crunchy toasted walnuts, and a tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect as a light lunch or a satisfying side dish.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the beetroot. Wrap each beetroot individually in foil with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast the beetroot for 30-45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking time depends on the size of the beets.
While the beetroot is roasting, toast the walnuts. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet or in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Once the beetroot is cool enough to handle, peel and slice or cube them.
In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the mixed greens on a platter or individual plates. Top with the roasted beetroot, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.

To make peeling the beetroot easier, rub the skins off under running water after they have cooled slightly.
For a sweeter flavor, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the balsamic glaze.
You can roast the beetroot ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Add other vegetables like cucumber, red onion, or cherry tomatoes for added texture and flavor.
For a heartier salad, add a grilled chicken breast or some quinoa.
