Equipment
- Small Saucepan (Optional For Candied Walnuts)
- Salad Bowl Or
Ingredients
- 4 Fresh Beets Medium, Peeled And Cut Into Wedges
- 100 g Baby Spinach Or
- Mixed Greens
- 100 g Goat Cheese Crumbled
- 1/4 cup Walnuts Roughly Chopped
- 2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Honey (Optional For Candying Walnuts)
- Salt To Taste

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Toss the beet wedges with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they're in a single layer. Roast the beets for about 40-45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- If making candied walnuts, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the walnuts and honey, stirring constantly until the honey caramelizes and coats the walnuts. Remove from heat and let them cool on a parchment paper-lined surface.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil to make the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large salad bowl or individual plates, arrange the baby spinach or mixed greens. Top with the roasted beet wedges, crumbled goat cheese, and candied walnuts (if using).
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving, and toss gently to combine all the flavors.
- Serve the Beet and Goat Cheese Salad as a refreshing side dish or a light lunch option that's as visually appealing as it is delicious.
