Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the golden beets in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Once done, let them cool, then peel and slice them into wedges.

  2. 2

    Toast the Sunflower Seeds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sunflower seeds for 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted beet wedges, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted sunflower seeds. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the green apple thinly and arrange on top of the salad. Serve immediately.
