Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Walnuts

Chef Jenn
I love how earthy, creamy, and perfectly balanced this Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Walnuts is! Roasted beets pair beautifully with tangy goat cheese, crunchy walnuts, and a simple vinaigrette. It’s elegant enough for holidays, yet easy enough for everyday meals.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets individually in foil and drizzle with olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for 45–60 minutes until fork-tender. Let cool, then peel and cut into wedges or slices.
  • Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Roast the beets a day in advance and store them in the fridge for quick assembly.
  • Mix red and golden beets for extra color and variety.
  • Swap walnuts for pecans or pistachios for a unique twist.
  • If goat cheese isn’t your favorite, try feta or blue cheese for a different flavor profile.
