This beet salad with goat cheese recipe features beets, crunchy pears, walnuts, goat cheese, and arugula tossed in a simple Dijon honey vinaigrette. It’s fresh, flavorful, and super easy to make. It’s the ultimate salad!
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub the beets well and remove the tops. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes (depending on size) until you can easily insert a knife. Let cool until easy to handle. You can also use canned beets or refrigerated cooked beets for a quicker option.
Step 2
Peel the beets and then cut them into bite-sized pieces. One easy way to do this is under running water. Just peel the skin back with your hands.
