Preparation

1

Roast the Beets

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly, wrap them in aluminum foil, and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Let them cool, then peel and slice.

2

Prepare the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

3

Assemble the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted beets, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped walnuts. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to combine.
