Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 lbs beets
  • 2 oz roasted pistachios
  • spinach or baby kale
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 lb goat cheese
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 oz olive oil

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Trim the beets of their greens. Wash them thoroughly. Wrap each beet in foil.
  • Place beets on a sheet pan, and bake for about 1 hour. You know they are done when they are tender enough to easily insert a knife into them. Remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly.
  • Unwrap the beets. Peel them. Chop them into large chunks.
  • For the Dressing:Whisk the dressing ingredients together. Set aside.
  • For the Goat Cheese:Place the goat cheese, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a bowl. Using an electric mixer, whisk until fluffy.
  • To Assemble the Salad:Place the beets in a bowl. Drizzle over a bit of the dressing and toss. In a larger bowl, dress the greens with some of the homemade dressing. Place the greens and beets on a plate. Sprinkle with nuts. Using two teaspoons, form about 4 ounces of whipped goat cheese into small balls. Place cheese on salad and enjoy.
