    Roasted Beet Goat Cheese Salad

    Beet Goat Cheese Salad

    I have a confession. I have a slight love affair with beets.  And I have no shame. They are just so delicious and full of healthy nutrients. But what really solidifies our relationship is how beautiful they are! The red hue that stains all of my kitchen utensils is more than welcome in all of my salads, snacks, breakfast scrambles, random leftover lunch mashups, and even desserts! I don't discriminate with which foods get beets.

    Beet Goat Cheese Salad

    One of my favorite ways to enjoy these beautiful root veggies is with goat cheese, toasted walnuts, and balsamic in this simple salad. Not only do this roasted beet salad show off the beautiful colors of red and gold beets, but the flavor combination is out of this world! The crunchy walnuts and tangy goat cheese really compliment the sweetness of roasted beets very well. And balsamic, in my opinion, is the most perfect way to tie together almost any dish.

    Beet Goat Cheese Salad

    This salad contains only a few simple ingredients, but the combination is definitely a winner! You can add grilled chicken or fish to make it a complete meal, or just enjoy it on its own. Sometimes the simplest things really are the best.

      Nice recipe! I used a bit less Balsamic for my taste, but presentation of this was easy and beautiful. Roasted my beets a day ahead, toasted walnuts in the morning, added a few fresh pomegranate seeds for pop and colour, because they are in season! Plated the salads without dressing 1 hour before and it kept well and was easy to serve when needed! Looked and tasted very “Chef”ie! YUM thanks for the inspiration. !
