instructions
    1

    Begin by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

    2

    Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes until tender.

    3

    While the beets are baking, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

    4

    Once the beets are done, let them cool slightly before peeling the skin off. This should be easy if they are tender. Slice the beets into manageable pieces.

    5

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced beets, and walnuts.

    6

    Crumble the goat cheese on top of the salad and drizzle the dressing over everything.

    7

    Toss gently to combine and serve immediately, enjoying the vibrant flavors!
