Here’s how this colorful salad comes together:
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this beauty:
- 4 medium beets, roasted and peeled
- 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup of pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- 4 cups arugula or mixed greens
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs like mint or basil for garnish
Instructions
Let’s get into the good stuff:
- First, roast your beets. Preheat that oven to 400°F. Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast them for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until they are fork-tender. Let them cool, then peel and slice them up.
- While those beets are chillin’, go ahead and whip up the dressing. In a little bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Taste it and adjust if you need to—everybody has their own vibe.
- In a big ol’ bowl, toss the arugula or mixed greens with a drizzle of the dressing. Make sure each leaf gets some love.
- Now, it’s time to pile on those roasted beets like you mean it. Scatter the crumbled goat cheese and chopped pistachios on top. Drizzle with more dressing if you like. And if you’re feeling fancy, toss on some fresh herbs for that extra touch.
- Give it a gentle toss so everything combines just right, but don’t go too wild—you want those beets to shine!
- Serve it up immediately and watch everyone’s hearts and bellies fill with joy!
This Roasted Beet Salad isn’t just a dish; it’s an experience. Perfect for a family gathering or a cozy dinner for two. Enjoy every bite, and don’t forget to share the love!
