Ingredients:

• 3 medium beets, peeled and diced
• 100g goat cheese, crumbled
• 150g mixed greens
• 50g walnuts, chopped
• 45ml olive oil
• 30ml balsamic vinegar
• to taste
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• oven
• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• salad tongs

I start by preheating the oven to 200°C. I toss the diced beets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet, then roast them for about 30-35 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

In a mixing bowl, I combine the mixed greens, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped walnuts. In a separate small bowl, I whisk together the remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar to create a simple vinaigrette. I drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients and toss gently to coat.

Once the beets are roasted to perfection, I add them to the salad mixture and toss everything together. The warm beets slightly wilt the greens, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.

Tips:

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a handful of fresh herbs like basil or mint to the salad before serving. The herbs will add a refreshing and aromatic touch to the dish.
