Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Wash the beets thoroughly and trim the tops. Boil or steam them until tender, about 45-60 minutes. Once cooked, let them cool, then peel and dice into cubes.

  2. 2

    Toast the Walnuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the walnuts and toast for about 5-7 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Prunes

    Chop the prunes into small pieces, ensuring there are no pits.

  4. 4

    Mix the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Combine the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the diced beets, chopped prunes, toasted walnuts, and crumbled chevre. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately, or chill for 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
