Ingredients

  • 3-4 about 1 pound small-medium size beets
  • 6 ounces mixed baby greens
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds lightly toasted
  • 6 ounces goat cheese
DRESSING
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.
  2. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place on baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle of the beet penetrates easily. Remove from oven and let cool. Unwrap and peel the skin off with a sharp paring knife. Slice into 1/4" pieces and with a small cookie cutter shape each piece into desired shape. Dice the remaining beets for salad and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper.
  4. In a medium bowl toss salad with the diced beets (save the shaped ones to garnish) with enough dressing to lightly coat the lettuce and beets. Place individual plates and add additional dressing if desired. Top each plate with almonds, goat cheese and shaped beets. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

  • The dressing is enough for 8-12 servings. Depending on how much dressing you prefer on your salad.
