Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roasting Sweet Potatoes and Beets

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes and beets. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Roast both for 45-60 minutes or until tender. Let cool, then peel the beets and slice them.

  2. 2

    Preparing the Walnuts

    In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for about 5-7 minutes until fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Let cool.

Dressing

  1. 3

    Making the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

    Assembling the Salad

  2. 5

    Adding Toppings

    Top the salad with crumbled gorgonzola cheese and toasted walnuts. Serve immediately.
