Roasted Beetroot Salad Ingredients
- Baby arugula
- Mixed greens
- Goat cheese (you can also use Feta cheese if you aren't a goat fan)
- Walnuts (toasted)
- balsamic vinaigrette dressing recipe
How To Roast Beets
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
- Wash the beets, pat dry, remove the greens (save them and sauté them!), and peel the beetroot with a vegetable peeler
- Chop the beets into chunks about 1 ½ inches in size
- Spread the beet cubes on a baking sheet, drizzle the olive oil over and sprinkle with coarse salt
- Roast the beets for 30-40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until tender throughout
How To Toast Walnuts In The Oven
Spread the walnuts onto a small baking sheet and lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Toast the walnuts for 8-10 minutes, checking frequently to make sure they don't burn. I like to give the pan a shake every 3 minutes.
How To Toast Walnuts On The Stove
This is actually my preferred method for toasting walnuts for salads or recipes. It only takes a few minutes in a dry skillet and you're done! Not to mention, you can do this while the beets are roasting. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the walnuts to the dry pan. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3-5 minutes until the nuts become toasty and fragrant from the oils being released. Set them aside to cool.
Want a protein boost to make this salad a complete meal? Just add a grilled chicken breast and you've got a well-rounded meal. I use this grilled chicken marinade to marinate chicken breasts in bulk for my weekly meal prep. Then I always a protein on hand for all my tasty salad creations.
