Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Let them cool, then peel and slice them.

  2. 2

    Toast the Hazelnuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped hazelnuts for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Make the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed lettuces, sliced beets, crumbled chèvre, and toasted hazelnuts.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the lemon herb dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
