Salad Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roasting Beets

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast them in the oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Allow them to cool, then peel and dice into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Preparing Apples

    Core and slice the apples into thin wedges. For a fresh flavor, you can use a mix of sweet and tart apples.

  3. 3

    Shredding Aged Gouda

    Grate or thinly slice the aged gouda cheese, ensuring you have a full cup ready for the salad.

Making the Vinaigrette

  1. 4

    Mixing Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the horseradish, maple syrup, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Combining Salad Ingredients

  2. 6

    Adding Granola and Vinaigrette

    Sprinkle the loaded granola over the salad and drizzle with the horseradish-maple vinaigrette. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
