Servings: 4
Equipment
- baking sheet
- large serving dish
Ingredients
- 5-6 medium golden beets
- 3 cup mixed greens
- ⅓ cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 3 Tbsp green onions, chopped
Infused Garlic Dressing
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup raw almonds, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Trim the greens off the beets. Place each beet on a large piece of aluminum foil, drizzle generously with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Wrap the beets in the foil lightly.
- Roast on a baking sheet for 60 to 80 minutes, or until soft and fork-tender. *The cooking time will depend on the size of the beets. Remove the beets from the oven, remove the foil, and set aside to cool. When the beets are cooled enough to touch, peel off the skins. If the skins are being stubborn, hold them with a paper towel and use a vegetable peeler (photo 1).
- Slice the beets into quarters and set aside. In a large skillet add the olive oil, garlic, seasonings, chopped nuts. Simmer it on very low. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Take it off the heat. Add green onions, lemon juice and zest, whisk well (photo 2).
- On a large serving dish, layer the mixed greens, top with the sliced beets and then pour the garlic oil dressing over. Sprinkle with goat cheese crumbles, drizzle honey and chopped parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
*red beets will also work.
*use feta or goat cheese
*use cashews or pistachios if needed.
Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I love to serve this room temperature or warmed, the cheese gets nice and creamy melted. You can also serve it lightly chilled!
