1
Prepare the Golden Beets
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each golden beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces through them. Once cooked, let them cool, peel the skins off, and slice them into wedges.
2
Prepare the Candied Pecans
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup of pecans, 1/2 cup of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the sugar melts and coats the pecans, about 5-7 minutes. Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool completely.
3
Assemble the Salad
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, beet wedges, and crumbled goat cheese. Add the cooled candied pecans on top.
4
Dress the Salad
Drizzle your favorite balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly coated.
