Ingredients
- 3 beets whole, small
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
- 2 cups lettuce
- 4 ounces goat cheese sliced or crumbled
- 1/4 cup almonds toasted
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette
- microgreens optional
- beets optional, spiralized, raw
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the whole beets on a large piece of foil. Coat them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the beets up in the foil. Place directly onto the oven rack and bake for 30 minutes, or until the beets are soft throughout. Allow the beets to cool, then peel and slice into rounds.
- Layer the beets and lettuce on a platter. Scatter the goat cheese and almonds over the top. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with more salt and pepper. Garnish with microgreens and spiralized beets if using and serve.

Notes
- Need to modify this beet salad to fit your dietary needs? No prob! You can go vegan by using tofu or a plant-based cheese alternative, or ditch the almonds (and replace them with pumpkin or sunflower seeds) if you've got a nut allergy.
- While fresh roasted beets bring that cozy, earthy flavor we all love, using pre-cooked or canned beets can save you a bunch of time. Just rinse and drain canned beets really well before tossing them in the salad. Keep in mind, though, that pre-cooked or canned beets might be a little different in texture and taste.
