This is by far one of my favorite salads. Typically I will eat this with just the beets, goat cheese and dressing, but today I decided to add some mixed greens.
Some people prefer roasted beets with blue cheese, and that’s also quite delicious. However, I just adore the earthy sweetness of the beets with the cool creaminess of the goat cheese. And of course the lemon dressing adds additional zing.
I tend to always order roasted beets of some kind when they’re offered on a restaurant menu; but lately I’ve started roasting my own at home and enjoying them a couple of times a month.
If you’re new to roasting beets check out my roasted beets recipe, it’s really simple. Otherwise, if you don’t feel like making the beets yourself, check your local grocery store for beets that are already roasted and ready to use. However, I don’t recommend canned or pickled beets for this recipe.
