Instructions

To roast beets for salad:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cut four 8-10-inch square aluminum foils. Place a beet in the middle, drizzle with ½ tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
  3. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Repeat the same process with the rest of the beets.
  4. Place covered beets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are easily pierced with the tip of a knife.
  5. Unwrap the beets and let them cool for 10 minutes on the kitchen counter. Gently remove the skins and cut them into wedges.
To make the dressing:
  1. Place maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mason jar. Put the lid on and give it a vigorous shake to combine.
To assemble the salad:
  1. Place the salad greens and the chopped shallot into a large salad bowl.
  2. Drizzle it with the dressing and gently toss to ensure all salad greens are evenly coated with the vinaigrette.
  3. Add in cooked beets and walnuts and toss to combine.
  4. Garnish with crumbled goat cheese and serve.

Notes

  • : You can follow the instructions above to roast the beets and make the dressing ahead of time. For best results, I recommend storing the beets and the dressing in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to two days before serving. When you’re ready to serve, simply assemble the salad.
  • Make ahead: You can follow the instructions above to roast the beets and make the dressing ahead of time.

  • Store: Store your leftover salad in an airtight container or in a large bowl covered with plastic wrap. It will stay fresh in the fridge for a day or two. I don’t recommend storing it any longer than that, as the greens will wilt and become limp.
  • Air Fryer Beets: If you have an air fryer, you can cook the beets in the air fryer in about 15 minutes.
