This salad is so good it can be a meal itself! And if I'm saying that, it's really something- because with my 'healthy' appetite, salad is usually a precursor to a bigger main course. But I find myself satisfied with just this salad, and perhaps a piece of good bread. Great for a weekday meal because it's so quick!
Ingredients:
1 bag pre-washed Mixed Greens
3-4 medium beets
1/2 cup of crumbled goat cheese
1/4 cup chopped almonds, walnuts or pecans
1 small can mandarin oranges (optional)
1 tbsp oil
salt and pepper to taste
Any kind of balsamic vinaigrette
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375.
2. Peel and chop the beets into wedges.
3. Arrange on a baking sheet or baking pan and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper
4. Roast the beets in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
5. Test with a fork- you should easily be able to stick a fork into them and they should be browned on the outside but still tender on the inside.
6. Toss beets with mixed greens, nuts, and crumbled goat cheese.
7. Arrange mandarin orange slices on top (optional)
8. Add dressing as desired.
Enjoy!
Total prep time: 20 minutes
