To start off, gather the following ingredients:

• 2 medium beets (200g), peeled and diced
• 2 large carrots (150g), peeled and sliced
• 4 cups mixed greens
• 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• Salt and pepper to taste

Next, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the diced beets and sliced carrots on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Once the beets and carrots are done roasting, let them cool slightly before assembling the salad. In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens with the roasted vegetables and crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

To finish off the dish, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for added crunch and flavor. Serve the salad immediately as a light and refreshing meal or side dish.
