Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium beets
- 1 recipe best balsamic vinaigrette
- 1 shallot
- 5 ounces (8 cups) baby greens
- 2 ounces soft goat cheese
- 1/4 cup roasted salted pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Roast the beets using the Oven Roasted Beets or Instant Pot Beets method.
- Once roasted, slice the beets into wedges, taking care as beet juice can stain.
- Prepare the Best Balsamic Vinaigrette in a medium bowl.
- (Optional) If desired, add the beets to the vinaigrette and stir until the dressing turns a vibrant pink color and gains a hint of sweetness. If you prefer to keep the dressing's original color, skip this step.
- Thinly slice the shallot and arrange the baby greens on a serving plate. Place the beets on top, and then sprinkle with goat cheese, shallots, and chopped pistachios. Drizzle with the balsamic dressing and serve.
Notes
For added flavor, you can let the beets marinate in the vinaigrette for a while before serving.
Feel free to substitute the goat cheese with feta cheese if desired.
This salad can be enjoyed warm or chilled.
