Roasted Beet Salad with Walnuts Goat Cheese and Honey Balsamic Dressing

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Rub the outside of each beet with some of the olive oil then place beets in a roasting pan.

Step 3

Pour 1/2 cup of water into roasting pan. Cover with foil. Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until beets can be easily pierced with a knife. Let cool, peel and slice.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine sliced, cooled beets and red onion. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of the dressing and toss to coat. (Reserve remaining dressing for another purpose or pass separately.) Let stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes so the beets absorb some of the dressing and the onions soften up slightly.

Step 5

Place greens on a platter.

Step 6

Top with beet/onion combination, then sprinkle walnuts and goat cheese over the top. Serve immediately.

Step 7

While the beets are roasting, whisk together ingredients for the dressing. Refrigerate until needed.
