1
Roast the Beets
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let cool.
2
Prepare the Salad Greens
While the beets are roasting, wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Tear them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
3
Slice the Red Onion
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl of salad greens.
4
Prepare the Pecans
Lightly toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool before adding to the salad.
5
Prepare the Beets
Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins using your hands or a paper towel. Cut the beets into wedges or slices and set aside.
6
Assemble the Salad
Add the roasted beets and toasted pecans to the salad bowl. Crumble the goat cheese over the top.
