Ingredients

3 whole beetroot
2 cups lettuce
4 oz. goat cheese
¼ cup toasted almonds
2 oz. balsamic vinaigrette
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
microgreens optional

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350°F. Place the whole beets on the foil. Coat them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and wrap them up in the foil. Place directly onto the oven rack and bake for 30 minutes or until the beets are soft throughout.
Allow the beets to cool then peel and slice into thick wheels.
In a serving bowl, add your washed lettuce and drizzle with the balsamic vinaigrette. Scatter over the beetroot, goat cheese, almonds, and microgreens. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Notes

Need to modify this beet salad to fit your dietary needs? No prob! You can go vegan by using tofu or a plant-based cheese alternative, or ditch the almonds (and replace them with pumpkin or sunflower seeds) if you've got a nut allergy.
While fresh roasted beets bring that cozy, earthy flavor we all love, using pre-cooked or canned beets can save you a bunch of time. Just rinse and drain canned beets really well before tossing them in the salad. Keep in mind, though, that pre-cooked or canned beets might be a little different in texture and taste.
