Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash and dry the kale leaves, then remove the stems. Tear or chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Julienne the Carrots

    Peel the carrots and julienne them into thin strips. Add them to the bowl with the kale.

  3. 3

    Add Roasted Beets

    If using pre-roasted beets, slice them into thin segments. If roasting your own, roast them until tender, cool, and then slice. Add them to the salad bowl.

  4. 4

    Add Goat Cheese

    Crumble the goat cheese over the salad mixture.

  5. 5

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, orange zest, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  6. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately, or let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
